I suggest you check out non profits, who are the recipients of most housing grants. Check out Habitat for Humanity.
Also visit the Nehemiah Corp as they have a downpayment assistance program for qualified lenders http://www.getdownpayment.com/
The Housing and Urban Development in their Grants Available page makes it clear that they do not provide grants to individuals -- hence no grants for a person to buy a home http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm
"While HUD does not offer direct grants or loans to individuals, we do work through local governments and non-profit organizations to make financial assistance and counseling available."
Check with your real estate realtor and your mortgage broker to see if they know of any programs to help with downpayment assistance

Gov. Grants if you qualify, most of them require a fee though. Also check w/ your city (city Hall) they can also help you with some programs. If you have kids and single parent you would probably qualify but i might take a while. You would be put on a waiting list (housing) low income families. And if you do get in your rent would more than likely be low.
