Hi Cameron,
This is from the Fannie Mae Site under 'Programs."
"The Fannie Mae Foundation's programs show the breadth and depth of our commitment to improving affordable housing and homeownership opportunities, especially for low-income and minority families.
Our commitment starts with helping individuals and families develop the skills they need to become homeowners. But it doesn't stop there. We also are committed to recognizing and rewarding the good work being done in America's cities, towns, and rural areas to provide decent, safe, affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families. We provide prestigious educational opportunities for those in the affordable housing and community development field. And we support special programs to raise awareness � and much-needed funds � to prevent and end homelessness in our hometown of Washington, D.C."

What dept. in your city government did you speak with? Also, how did you get financing to buy a home with (I assume) having a low income?

To All:
Not sure if I sent an e-mail about this, so thought I'd mention it gain incase not.
You might look into asking you city if they have grants you might qualify for. I'm getting $5000 to help make my house more accessible. I just bought a house and the doors have a 4 inch step. So I'm getting $5000 to ramp them and use to put in a roll in shower. No hassles, just get 3 bids. I never thought I'd qualify. I found out about it on a fluke. Just saw a story about grants, so I called the city and asked if our city did.
