Low Income Housing Grants or Loans?

I'm trying to find fianical help to buy a new motorhome to live in. I'm low income on SSI and disabled. I live in a 5th wheel that's falling apart. It needs a lot of work; it's becoming unlivable. Are there any agencies that can help?

Habitat for Humanity can help with housing. I am not sure if they provide motor homes, but you can ask.

May I ask why you want a motorhome? They only go down in value and you will soon be in the same situation again. They are also harder to heat and cool. On the other hand, a tiny home holds its value better. Or if you had a small apartment, you would have rent but no repairs to worry about or yearly taxes.

Did you go to your local Social Services office and ask what type of housing assistance they have available? That would be my first stop.
