Can you answer wejacgar’s question?:
I am disabled and need assistance buying a home to get in a better environment. Heard there were grants to help but don’t know how to find this.
Give your answer to this member’s question below.
Try contact the Americans with Disabilities Act people. They may be able to help you.
You 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.
Even 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
