Great Resources for Home Ownership in Minnesota

There was a great article written at the Star Tribune about Leticia Brown's journey towards home ownership:

After being a renter for eight years, Brown was determined to fulfill an ambitious goal for 2007 -- to own her own home. "I wanted to do it for my children," she said.

In the article it mentioned a few programs that are great first steps for anybody looking for home ownership.

...nonprofit City of Lakes Community Land Trust (CLCLT) Home Buyer Initiated (HIP) program, which gives grants to qualifying low- to moderate-income families, and a deferred loan from the Home Ownership Made Easy (HOME) program, which helps Minneapolis, St. Paul and Metropolitan Council Public Housing and Section 8 families become homeowners.
