What are some types of home remodeling grants?

There are federal and state grants available for certain home improvement projects, as well as some provided by city or county governments, according to MyGovernmentResources.com. Grants are typically limited to specific types of home improvement, such as improvements that make homes more energy efficient.

MyGovernmentResources.com states that the most common types of home remodeling grants are those used to bring a home's exterior up to current code or those that make a home's interior more handicap-accessible. Further, grants are available for projects that turn new or existing property into low-income housing. To find available grants, contact the local HUD office or local state or community housing organizations for information on home improvement resources.
