housing grants

Shelter financial assistance

Housing grants are funds provided by governments, nonprofits, or other organizations to help people pay for housing-related expenses—down payments, repairs, or rent assistance.

Unlike loans, grants don't require repayment: She applied for a housing grant to fix her roof.

Eligibility typically depends on income, location, or specific circumstances like disability or veteran status.
