So, you are considering the purchase of a home in Virginia. Purchasing a home in any state is an exciting prospect!
Before we get to the topic of first time home buyer grants, I would like to give you some fun facts about your chosen state. (If you are relatively new to Virginia, I don't want you to look too much like a tourist!) These facts were obtained from the official State of Virginia website.
Milk is the state beverage of Virginia. (It does a body good!)
All right, that was fun! However, I'd better stop now or else I'll never get to the Virginia first time home buyer grants program.
To begin with, unfortunately, the State of Virginia does not offer a Virginia 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 Virginia. 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.
