Marcia,
I'm working with a group in Iowa City, Iowa to get a cohousing development
done here.  One of our goals since the beginning has been economic
diversity.  Towards that end we have partnered with our local Housing Trust
Fund of Johnson County.  We have also applied for a number of other grants
and loans, some successfully, some not. The most fruitful for us has been
the housing trust fund.  I would encourage you to look for a local or
regional HTF.  I work for an affordable housing developer, our experience
has been that the trust fund money is more flexible in it's use,  less
competitive, easier to apply for an and less onerous in terms of compliance.

Good luck!
