SFgate.com has an interesting article you may want to read entitled "Selling illegal immigrants the American dream" that discusses how illegals are getting loans and mortgages for their homes. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/06/15/MNGRMJEGM81.DTL
The article says:
"... a handful of banks, including some major institutions, have begun offering home-mortgage loans to people who don't have Social Security accounts. Instead, borrowers can use individual taxpayer identification numbers, or ITINs, which are used to file income tax returns. These lending programs also allow borrowers to use unconventional ways to demonstrate their creditworthiness."

No way so which you may get a SS# or substitute into naturalized. you're right here illegally. the only thank you to income criminal prestige is to return to your place u . s . and notice to return back legally. in case you go away in the previous you turn 18 a million/2,you isn't penalized for being right here illegally considering you have been a minor. in case you do no longer return via that age,you're making the alternative as an person to forget approximately approximately our immigration regulations. you will then be concern to deportation and ban on returning. Your mothers and fathers did you no favors via making you a criminal.

If you do not have a social security number, but have an ID for the country you are from, you can qualify for this. There is no special rate or down-payment assistance through the govt., though, and you usually need a down-payment.
In your question, you stated you are an American...why are you even asking this question?

Rural Housing Direct Loans are loans that are directly funded by the Government. These loans are available for low- and very low-income households to obtain homeownership. Applicants may obtain 100% financing to purchase an existing dwelling, purchase a site and construct a dwelling, or purchase newly constructed dwellings located in rural areas. Mortgage payments are based on the household's adjusted income. These loans are commonly referred to as Section 502 Direct Loans.
1.Purpose: Section 502 loans are primarily used to help low-income individuals or households purchase homes in rural areas. Funds can be used to build, repair, renovate or relocate a home, or to purchase and prepare sites, including providing water and sewage facilities.
Eligibility: Applicants for direct loans from HCFP must have very low or low incomes. Very low income is defined as below 50 percent of the area median income (AMI); low income is between 50 and 80 percent of AMI; moderate income is 80 to 100 percent of AMI. Click here to review area income limits for this program. Families must be without adequate housing, but be able to afford the mortgage payments, including taxes and insurance, which are typically within 22 to 26 percent of an applicant's income. However, payment subsidy is available to applicants to enhance repayment ability. Applicants must be unable to obtain credit elsewhere, yet have reasonable credit histories. Elderly and disabled persons applying for the program may have incomes up to 80 percent of area median income (AMI).
Terms: Loans are for up to 33 years (38 for those with incomes below 60 percent of AMI and who cannot afford 33-year terms). The term is 30 years for manufactured homes. The promissory note interest rate is set by HCFP based on the Government’s cost of money. However, that interest rate is modified by payment assistance subsidy.
Standards: Under the Section 502 program, housing must be modest in size, design, and cost. Modest housing is property that is considered modest for the area, does not have market value in excess of the applicable area loan limit, and does not have certain prohibited features. Houses constructed, purchased, or rehabilitated must meet the voluntary national model building code adopted by the state and HCFP thermal and site standards. Manufactured housing must be permanently installed and meet the HUD Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards and HCFP thermal and site standards.
Approval: Rural Development officials should make a decision within 30 days of the Rural Development office's receipt of the application.
Basic Instruction: 7 CFR Part 3550 and HB-1-3550
