If you are in need of a housing assistance and need a real estate in Arizona, there are several programmes in place that can help you.
Hud housing
For Arizona residents, HUD is a provider of block grant funds in conjunction with unclaimed tax proceeds, directly to the Arizona Housing department.
Block grant funding
Block grant funding is designed for low-income households, and is available whether buying, owning or renting a real estate in Arizona. The program further assists the homeless and persons living with HIV or AIDS. Federal law requires Arizona to set aside a minimum of 15% of the annual budget towards housing development organisations, so there is assistance available if needed.
To benefit from these funds, you'll want to get in touch with the Arizona Department of Housing to learn on how to apply.
(Housingaz.com or call 602-771-1000). AZHud.com is another great site breaking down hud houses for sale by region.
HUD homes are also known as short sale properties that can save pennies on the dollar in comparison to traditional real estate. While visiting the Maricopa county (Phoenix) section of the Azhud.com webpage for example, you can then further sort by property type, price range, number of beds/baths and when you're looking to move to narrow search results.
