What are your professions? Some grants are profession related. Are you a veteran?
I know my mom bought our house through a Farmer's Home Loan back in the 80's. It was for low income home buyer but not the same as the HUD program.

No both of us would have probably had to declare bankruptcy since she spent 58 days in the hospital, and our daughter spent 35 days in neonatal intensive care, and I carried the insurance on her causing each of us to carry a bill. I don't know if you've ever priced NICU stays, but they're not cheap. I think you once told me not to make assumptions about other peoples lives.
Thanks for all the links.
