How Many Home Improvement Grants Will You Qualify For?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sarah_Beckham]Sarah Beckham

If you are low on funds, but so tired of the dreary and outdated decor in your home, you may want to think about exploring home improvement grants to give your place a pick me up. The United States government awards hundreds of American citizens, like you and I, enormously generous amounts of free money to assist them in beautifying their homes. Depending on your location and situation, there may very well be a significant amount of free government money made available to you, in as little as a few weeks (when properly applied for) if you qualify.

This type of funding is distributed in large sums to hundreds of American taxpaying citizens each year by way of home improvement grants. Grants, unlike loans, do not require any form or repayment whatsoever. They are ultimately a gift from good old Uncle Sam that you can, or rather, must, use to invest in redecorating, repairing, or remodeling your home. As long as you are able to verify that the funds awarded to you are, were, or will be utilized to cover the expenses of your home repair endeavors, you will never have to pay back any of it. You are not required to claim this free government money on your tax return, nor does it appear in any credit check systems. It is an agreement between you, the US government, and your building contractor or home improvement specialist.

The amount of funding you may be possible to receive, and the measure or repairs or remodeling you choose to embark upon can widely vary. If you are a single-family homeowner who is interested in updating the décor of one section of your home, you may qualify for $500 to $5000 or more. Maybe you are a landlord who possesses multiple unit buildings that are in need of some serious type of electrical or plumbing repairs in order to meet safety inspection standards. In a scenario such as this, a grant awarding committee may be eager to provide this property owner with substantial funds reaching the tens of thousands in efforts to aid in the immediate public safety of the buildings tenants. In other cases, mid sized home improvement grants are distributed for growing families to build additions to their homes to accommodate their physical needs. Handicapped citizens are nearly undeniable candidates for funding to build access ramps and elevators to their properties, and those who desire to turn single-family homes into multi unit dwellings for rental income purposes are also favored.

No matter how large or small your vision of rehabilitation is, or what your income status is, there is a home improvement grant made available by the government to finance it. The key is finding which ones you qualify for. Start searching today and you could be calling your contractor next season.
