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

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.

Since I do not have a permanent roof over my head, I would buy a piece of land and build a house of my design.  this way for some bad luck, if I ever lost my job I do not have to worry about rent.

I'm not sure where you could get a grant, but I'm sure there are many organizations that would help you. A visit to a government office would probably help you more than anything else. \n\nBut most of all, welcome to America!

Go to your local city clerk and/or county clerk and ask this question of them.  They will direct you to the appropriate local departments and agencies who will have the specific sources and procedures you require.  While there are some common sources, different localities will have unique sources or unique requirements.  An example is "Block Grant Funding which exists in many communities and is federal monies, however, it will be issued locally with unique local requirements.

There are all types of government programs for grants but the paperworks could take several months so I don't know if there would be enough time for that.\n\nI can tell you that I use to work at a Chamber of Commerce and we use to get a lot of people in situations similar to yours who would come in looking for sponsorships from local businesses.  I can't promise anything but it's worth a shot because businesses often sponsor events like this for tax write-offs.  So I would stop by your local Chamber of Commerce.

It's way too risky, you need permits for that kind of repair and for City Inspectors to buy off the work done.\nIf you plan to sell the house later, and you have had work that was done without  permits, you may have to have them redone, to secure the sale. The buyer may have a problem getting a mortgage to buy your house.\nThen as you stated, roof repair, can be hazardous, and if he or a worker falls and gets injured, you may be up the creek.\nFor smaller jobs, he may just be the man, but for something as large as a roofing job. Go with licensed    contractor, that way you at least have coverage and if the job isn't done right, some recourse in court.
