GRANTS

I am: Veteran, a senior citizen, minority, female, part Indian, displaced and disabled.  Believe it or not people, I am all of the above.

I have been on Soc. Sec. Disability for the past 5 years.  I have lost everything that I owned, except for some personal household things.  I used to own my own home.  But with being sick for years and it effecting my income, I no longer own any property and lost my nice car.

I presently live in the Los Angeles area, where the medium value of a home is $500,000.  It is impossible for people like myself to ever think of owning a home, -or- to rent a nice apartment for that matter.  My income is WELL under $1000 a month.

I would love nothing more than to own my own home again.  I am on the waiting list for the Sec. 8 program here in L.A., but the program is frozen.  And many of the properties offered under this program for renting or buying are in bad condition and in the worst parts of town.  What I would like is assistance in rental or mortgage payments, as well as money for down payment, if that is called for in a purchase.

If you are not able to help me, maybe you can point me in the right direction.  Any help you can offer would be much appreciated! 

Thank You, Barb Wagner
