Who has used the HOME Improvement Partnerships Program with HUD?

[Nathan Walden]

I was looking to see if there are any possible grants to fund investment properties and came across hearing about the HOME Improvement Partnerships Program with HUD. From my understanding the Government helps fund local and state governments for distressed properties in the area. This program was also recommended to me from articles and blog posts about grant money for real estate. On the articles it sounds like this program is available to the public however the wording on the HUD website sounds it is exclusive to local and state governments only. Has anyone here participated in this program? If so, what is your experience?
