Ever on the alert to new websites that can help you find homebuying assistance, I ran across this one created by Workforce Resource, an Atlanta-based software company, Down Payment Resource. For the homebuying public, it has a searchable database in which you can put in an address, city or county, and then answer several questions that help determine your eligibility for programs in the area: are you a current homeowner, veteran, and so on. From this, it whips up a list of POSSIBLE downpayment assistance sources. I say possible since programs change constantly--or become discontinued, or suspended. The creators of the database are honest enough not to make a lot of dumb promises.
As a side note, I tried it using only a zip code, and got nothing. When I sent an email complaining, the creators were prompt and polite, pointing out that zip codes were not workable (since programs were not based on them), and giving me a list of likely prospects. Try the site and see if you can find some downpayment assistance.
