I suggest you check out non profits such as Habitat for Humanity (be willing to provide sweat equity). Or check out Nehemiah Corp as they provide downpayment support for qualified folks http://www.getdownpayment.com
The only grant for daycare providers is the state assistance for registering your business and will not exceed $500. Maryland, for example, has a Family Day Care Provider Grant Program that will give $500 to daycare providers to help in the registration expenses http://www.dhr.state.md.us/cca/grant/index.htm
It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.
Nonetheless, 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 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 a for-profit venture.
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. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.
Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html...
"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."

I have a inspiration--why do not you brain your possess trade, and abandon the thought of ambushing humans at the avenue with some thing variation of the reality you believe you own. If you may have determined that dwelling like a bum and ranting on avenue corners is easy methods to run your existence, you have to critically examine your choice-making system. . EDIT: You maintain pronouncing 'pilgrim', however what your describing is a bum. You wish to grow to be a dumpster-diving, aluminum can collecting bum. There is little 'pilgrim' approximately it. Do you even quite realize what a pilgrim is? . And sure, the reply above mine says it good. Why does not God aid your ministry, rather of getting you dig by way of trash cans and panhandle for difference? Builds individual, I wager. The Lord supplies by way of the fingers of others, a few will surely say. It's tough for fellas like me to look the change among that, and no god in any respect. Wonder why? . What do you intend to do while clinical and dental expenditures come alongside? You'll quickly discover out that God would possibly not furnish for that, both. . All this to give a message that everybody you meet has already heard 5 hundred occasions earlier than. Somehow I do not believe seeing it awarded a different time through a threadbare bum goes to persuade them, and each 'God Bless' parting shot they pay attention from you goes to force them one step extra from some thing it's you believe you are engaging in. .

You should try the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development or HUD. They have programs for people that receive housing choice vouchers to help with down payments, closing costs or the mortgage payments.
Some public housing agencies participate in the Housing Choice Homeownership Voucher Program.
The site: http://www.hud.gov has a lot of information that should be helpful to you.
Good Luck!
