Jon,

Also check out the Home of Your Own Alliance; it got started in New
Hampshire, but has worked on becoming national, and has gotten as far as
Colorado, at least.  

This is a link to the Home of Your Own guide published by the University
of New Hampshire at the conclusion of the initial Home of Your Own
project.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Jon,
see if there is an ACORN office in your area. They have housing programs
in
many cities. It is through them and the city of Oakland that I will
eventually buy my first home or condo.
