Husband and I really want to stop paying rent and start paying off our own home here in Miami.He's a teacher and I work parttime will training to be a registered nurse. Our kids are small, but one goes to first grade school and the other will start this fall. I friend mentioned that we should see if HUD has an assistance program that we may qualify for. We want to stay near our families, because they help out with the kids, we both work long hours. Who does anyone recommend we talk to to see if it might be worth our while approaching HUD?

I think your friend is right.. Maybe HUD can help you in some ways..
