I am assuming you are looking for a parent or grandparent.  The best ones actually are the local ones.  My mom has a program like this down in her area that is not advertised anyplace else and they respond really fast.  They are also less expensive than the well known companies and just as good.  Look in your local phone book or call a nursing home and see whom they recommend.

There are tons of institutions that can help. Do a search for Grants, and you will find them. Some specialized for the kind of business you want to open, or for your town etc.\n\nAnd yeah... spellcheck your grant requests...

There are many grant programs etc.available.  Check with your local and state government.  Also, a really good motivating read is "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" It is really straightforward.

The department of human services would be a good place to start.  Good luck.

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.\n\nOr go to your county and check what services or assistance may be available for you.

Apply for federal and local grants. Ask for donations from local businesses. Ask computer stores if they'd be willing to donate equipment. Good luck! :)

Get your facts and information straight and well- organized- include names and dates whenever possible.\n\nPresent the information to the nearest TV station with an investigative or consumer help program. Even if they don't give it air time, they can still offer advice.\n\nLook in the community services section of your phone book- contact...\n- free legal aid\n- handicapped services\n- elderly services\n- United Way First Call For Help\n- Habitat for Humanity\n- anyone else that looks good\n- low-income housing programs\n\nIf either is a regular in a church, social or fraternal organization, or even a bar, let them know about the problems and see if they can help somehow.\n\nHOWEVER... let's be realistic here and face a couple uncomfortable points. \n- Low income. With that income it is unlikely that anyone will loan them any money.\n- It sounds like they were living 'off the grid' to some extent (wind/solar, apparently no insurance, etc.) This always makes it harder to get help when it becomes necessary.\n- Living in their own home may not be the best option for two disabled older people. For example, I don't think they would be at the front of the list for a donated home.\n- The father's age alone will work against him in getting some forms of help. Few programs will provide lots of money for rebuilding a house that he might not be able to stay in for a very long time.\n\nAsk for the dream, but be realistic and thoughtfully consider the options and any offers for help.\n\nGood luck!

Hi,\n\nGreat post!  I had the same grant question a few months ago. It's really tricky to find out about this stuff on the net, but my wife bought me special special software (CD) for my birthday.  The program rocks for finding the grant info you want.  btw...this is  the software that was featured on CNBC and in USA  Today.\n\nThis company is giving away the software free (only $3.95 for shipping)!!!!!!!\nHere's the link\nhttp://www.alllsite.info/free-grant-money.php\n\nI'm sure you'll find the info there\nGood luck

There is plenty of government funding out there. Call you local social services for adults and they will get you started with the right people for funding. There are other groups and organizations in your local areas. Start by writing alot of letters to group and organization they will help. Good Luck.

Here is a list of ALL federal grants available to home owners. There's not many, and none to help in purchasing a new home -unless you are willing to give sweat equity or you qualify as very low income.\n\n10.417 USDA Very Low-Income Housing Repair Loans and Grants \nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.PROGRAM_TEXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr&p_arg_values=10.417\n\n10.433 USDA Rural Housing Preservation Grants \n10.444 USDA Direct Housing_Natural Disaster Loans and Grants \n11.462 DOC Hydrologic Research \n12.111 DOD Emergency Advance Measures for Flood Prevention \n14.126 HUD Mortgage Insurance_Cooperative Projects \n14.127 HUD Mortgage Insurance_Manufactured Home Parks \n14.132 HUD Mortgage Insurance_Purchase of Sales-Type Cooperative Housing Units \n14.168 HUD Land Sales_Certain Subdivided Land \n14.197 HUD Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act \n\n14.247 HUD Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program \nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.PROGRAM_TEXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr&p_arg_values=14.247\n\n14.310 HUD Teacher Next Door Initiative \n14.856 HUD Lower Income Housing Assistance Program_Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation \n14.901 HUD Healthy Homes Demonstration Grants \n14.902 HUD Lead Technical Studies Grants \n66.032 EPA State Indoor Radon Grants \n66.806 EPA Superfund Technical Assistance Grants (TAG) for Community Groups at National Priority List (NPL) Sites \n97.022 DHS Flood Insurance\n\nYou can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. \n\nThere is no truth to what others say that there are grants for just about any purpose. That's not how grants work, and that's a myth perpetuated by those who wish to profit from this misinformation (and there are a lot)\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

Call your local bank and get pre-qualified for a mortgage.  Ask them about what grants are available in your area, at your wage level etc..\n\nI qualified for two grants when i bought my first house.  one was based on my income level.  the other was based on the location I was buying my new house.
