Rhode Island First Time Home Buyer Grants

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

The Rhode Island state bird is…you guessed it, the Rhode Island Red Hen!

Rhode Island's state flower is the Violet and the state tree is the Red Maple.

The state rock of Rhode Island is the Cumberlandite. "Cumberlandite is dark brown or black with white markings. It is found on both sides of Narragansett Bay but not north of Cumberland. It will attract a magnet and is estimated to be one and one-half billion years old."

Rhode Island's state mineral is Bowenite. "Bowenite is a close relative of Jade and can be considered a semi-precious gemstone. It is found in northern Rhode Island and was discovered in the early 1800s by Rhode Island geologist George Bowen."

The state fish of Rhode Island is the Striped Bass.

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

To begin with, unfortunately, the State of Rhode Island does not offer a Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island. This program is maintained by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and is called the Homes and Communities program. 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.

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.
