You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.
Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.
Here is a complete listing of available federal grants on housing homeownership http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.FUNCTIONAL_PROGRAM_TXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=func_cat_cd&p_arg_values=ML

If you go through each and every one, you will find that there are assistance or programs that can help you purchase a house for low costs -- but there's no FREE money for buying a home. The government does not give out grants to give people homes unless in very restricted cases.

If you are looking for free housing, you would probably need Section 8 assistance. (Assuming you have no income, you would have no housing costs.)
If you are looking for assistance in purchasing a home or with home repair/improvement, you should contact your local Neighborworks Homeownership Center.
Free is usually too good to be true. Only work with reputable organizations.

No such element. something on line you'll see promising you this will be a scam. understand that 0% down on a house is a terrible concept. The goverment enables VA loans for cover stress individuals. choose they could develop into unlawful.
