The other problem we ran into in Florida was that the local people could not explain to us what the requirements were or how to meet them. Further they wanted the person receiving the grant to apply and then they would find out. The problem was we had to know who _could_ apply and what for before we could find someone who _would_ apply. The $ amounts were there but no one knew the rest of the process, particularly how long they would be in effect. When building cohousing you don't know in what year you will finally close and sign for the mortgage. In hind sight, one of us should have applied just to force the process and learn the ropes, even if we would have been refused, but we were so burdened with other tasks we wouldn't have had time to take on another one even if we had thought of it.
