What are some home-buying programs for single mothers?

Individual development accounts, the U.S. Housing and Urban Development's Homeownership Voucher program, Community Block Grant program and Habitat for Humanity are home-buying programs that may assist single mothers. These programs are designed for low-income families and may assist many single mothers, according to Redfin.

Community groups establish individual development accounts, matched savings accounts that can be used to assist single mothers in saving money to purchase a home, notes Redfin. HUD's Homeownership Voucher program provides vouchers for families seeking to buy a home. The Community Development Block Grant program provides funding to state and local agencies who provide affordable housing. Habitat for Humanity provides housing for low-income families and offers interest-free loans.
