What first-time buyer grants are available in Charleston?

Grants for first-time buyers in Charleston run through state housing finance programs and federal loan options such as FHA and VA, rather than a grant issued by the city itself. Eligibility usually turns on income limits, credit, and whether the buyer has owned a home before, which a participating lender checks directly. Brian Beatty works with Lowcountry lenders who process these applications and can point a buyer toward the ones worth pursuing.
