FIRST ANSWER

Mindy,

I may be misinturpreting your question, so please continue your search for a grant.

At one time, homeowners could grant money to buyers through several programs. To the best of my knowledge, all or most of these were stopped by the Government on October 1st, 2008.

You might try these two websites.
http://michigan.gov/mshda
http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/rhs/

There are qualifications for both programs.
