You can check with your local govt. for current programs (ie. department of real estate, local library, small business programs, etc.)
Most counties are now online and offer information via the web, which can cut down significantly on your research time.
I found alot of information through the department that helps small businesses in my local library. They had information on loans that can be "forgiven" in certain circumstances. I also found information about grants that were given by certain govts. to buy homes in certain areas of certain towns . By far and large, the bulk of the assistance is for low income familes, first time homeowners, and small start up businesses, but if you can get your hands on free money, it's worth a look.
Most grants are given to people with established track records doing the thing they're asking for the money to do writing detailed and bulletproof proposals ... some small percentage of which are actually funded.
In other words, think of a successful grant proposal as a three-point shot sunk by an NBA player.
They are agreat if you can get them.
Beside that, i don't know anything about them.
I posted a note about this once before.
