We are a family of five and bought a home we were told by the seller that it only needed "cosmetic" work. We had it inspected before we bought it but turns out the foundation is bad and the whole house is not shifting because of it. We can't afford loans and were wondering if there are grants or assistance services avaliable in Kentucky.

That home inspector should have caught the foundation problems. You may have legal grounds for a lawsuit there. Check with a lawyer.
As to local grants, you may want to check with your Community Action Agency. They administer most of the Community Service Block Grants across the US. If there is a grant for what you need in your area, they will know about it.
Good Luck

Check with a lawyor & see if possible to get out of the home deal from not all problems being listed.
Check with your city for home improvement for low income. If not the city may have ideas on some programs you can apply for repair assistance. I do not think anyone would help regarding the foundation. No help; at least may have you directed in right direction.
