File bankruptcy today. Only way to stop sale and give yourself some time. File a ch 13 than once that get dismissed  file a ch 7 the same day.\n\nIf you play in the courts by continuing the case it can take up to 6 months before they can sell. I would use that time to either sell the home or find a place to rent. \n\nAlso once the home is sold they still have to evict you, so if you learn the laws you can stay even longer by working the courts. Usually the people that buy at the sheriffs sale will offer you some money a couple grand to leave, so you don't tie up the property in court. There is an attorney that a company has been trying to evict  for over year since they foreclosed.  \n\nLaw do vary from state to state on forecloses.

Look in The Oklahoman in the classified if you live in the metro area.  They have a ton of listings.  I'm not sure about any grants...you shouldn't need one to rent though.

My mom bought a home through a free grant throught the City she lived in. They gave her 5k and me 18k. Just ask you local city hall, or city housing department. Call 411 or check online for your state and city. It may take time, but it's worth it. Jesus loves you, ask Him to help you, he will.

You should also try you county government. They don't do a lot of advertising, but they do offer development programs. the USDA (Yes, the United States Dairy Association) offer aid for people willing to move to low population areas.\n\nI would be curious to know why you are looking for a grant aside from the obvious.

Call 411 and ask for services like United Way. They could help you. Also some people ask for help in Ebay ads. Look in the Yellow Pages for community agencies. Call the library and tell them about your situation they can give you specific ph numbers as well.

Try HUD homes and foreclosures...sometimes they need a little bit of work but you can really get a good deal.

A lot of places offer free "weatherization" repairs to the low income and others offer home improvement loans at low or no interest.  Check with your city's Housing Department.

If you are looking for assistance from the county, I would call the social services office. They should handle all financial assistance issues there. If they cannot help, try the county health department. \n\nConsider emailing or calling the Eye Institute that you mentioned.. or go there for a meeting with service providers. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Sadly, if there were quick easy money out there, we'd all be going for it.  There isn't, really.  Best thing to do, I think, is look for other folks who are in a similar situation and pick their brains.  And/or talk w/ someone in a temp agency to get a feeling for the needs in your community.  Might be able to do some non-internet based computer work (medical transcriptionist?), or possibly phone work... hope things work out for you!

Try going to a local church for the help you need.  Those fast loan places are bad news.  Your financial problems will only increase.

The cheapest way is to have at least 20% of the down payment saved up before purchasing your house.  Not only will you have a smaller monthly mortgage but you will avoid paying Private Mortgage Insurance every month.  \n\nThe best way of looking for a house is to find an area that you want to live and do some research of the area via the county's auditor website for recent sales and by searching listings via realtor.com or other realty firm's website.  \n\nAlso by subscribing to a legal newspaper you can get the heads up on who is getting a divorce, who died, and who's home is in foreclosure, or filed for bankruptcy.  These circumstances often lead to substantial savings if the owner is willing for liquidity.  \n\nGood Luck.
