Connecticut First Time Home Buyer Grants

So, you are considering the purchase of a home in Connecticut. Purchasing a home in any state is an exciting prospect!
Exciting and sometimes daunting! However, don't let yourself become overwhelmed with the process. It is my plan to give you some useful information in this article about first time home buyer grants which will help you with this exciting and much sought after venture.

Before we get to the topic of Connecticut first time home buyer grants, I would like to give you some fun facts about your chosen state. (If you are relatively new to Connecticut, I don't want you to look too much like a tourist!) These facts were obtained from the official State of Connecticut website.

Connecticut was admitted as a state on January 9, 1788, and was the fifth state to do so.

The state name of "Connecticut" comes from "Quinnehtukqut", Mohegan for "Long River Place" or "Beside the Long Tidal River".

Connecticut is known for its inventors (Charles Goodyear, Elias Howe, Eli Whitney, and Eli Terry); inventions, watchmaking, typewriters, insurance and submarines.

Connecticut's first medical diploma was granted by Yale University in 1729.

Dr. Robert K. Jarvik, a Stamford native, invented the world's first artificial heart in 1982.

All right, that was fun! However, I'd better stop now or else I'll never get to the Connecticut first time home buyer grants program.

To begin with, unfortunately, the State of Connecticut does not offer a Connecticut first time home buyer grant program for its residents. However, the good news is that the federal government does offer grant assistance for first time home buyers in Connecticut. This program is maintained by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and is called the Homes and Communities program. Their website contains useful information and applications. The website for the grant program maintained by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development can be visited by using this link, HUD Grant Information.

Another website I would recommend that you view is Visit the Government Grants. This website offers a list of all federal government grant programs. It would be a good idea to take some time and browse through this site to see what it offers and the qualifications for application.

It is important to note that there are several local first time home buyer grant programs available from specific private organizations in Connecticut.

Don�t forget the importance of your credit score. Even if you qualify for a grant, you still have to qualify for a loan. See my information on credit repair made easy if you need help.

If you don�t qualify for a grant you may qualify for down payment assistance. They are sometimes easier to obtain.
