Step 1: Do some research online. Housing allocation is sometimes published online like with the HUD. Also known as Department of Housing and Urban Development of the United States gives housing grants to individuals, organizations or special groups.
Step 2. If you pick out a specific grant, learn everything about it and find out if you are qualified. Of course, there's no use trying to apply for something if you don't meet the qualifications after all. Your income and the number of people living in your household will be looked at - so take these things into considerations and compare yours against the grant's qualifications as well.
Step 3: Ensure that you are doing the right process to get the house assistance.
Step 4. Fill up any necessary application forms, and make sure that the form that you're filling up is the right one.
Step 5. Have all the documentations necessary. For specific grants, you can include unique information like doctor's notes, court orders, notices or bills for rent, pictures and the like. Remember to keep a copy for yourself as well.
Step 6. Study your application once again, and check to see if you have made mistakes. Be thorough when double checking.
Step 7: Send your application form to the right mailing address of the HUD and or send it online through their website.
Step 8. After sending, the HUD will set an appointment with you (if necessary) so that you can complete your application process. Make sure that you bring all information necessary along with you.
Step 9. Be patient in your efforts. There is a huge chance that you will be placed on a waiting list, and this can last for as little as six months to as long as seven years. This depends on the availability of housing in or near your area.
Step 10. Be diligent with your efforts. Keep your contact information up to date. Something as little as a missed phone call can spell out zero for your housing grant. This is because there are throngs of people applying for the housing grant - so if you don't answer an email or phone call, then they move on with the list. Update them with your contact information always.

- Federal housing grants are very competitive. You should understand what you're getting into.
- If you want continuous information on federal grants, visit www.cdpublications/funding.com and subscribe to a Family Services Report. This keeps you updated on grants and programs.
Warnings:
- Immediately reply to any email or respond to calls made by the HUD
- If you don't qualify for housing grants, then you can look for other ways to get funds for your house.
- Never lie about anything while applying for housing grants, and these include your income, your budget and the people in your household. This can be a serious offence.
