I need a house. Are there Any Programs Out There To Help Me?

I'm trying to get custody of my 4 little brothers and sisters. I currently live in an apartment and I know I will need a house in order to improve my chances. Are there any programs out there that will help me?
Additional Details
I would also want to own the house one day.

Section 8 is the best way to go but, it might take awhile to get qualified and it could be difficult prior to the children actually becoming dependents. Once you did obtain Section 8 or HUD Housing most often the Homes rented are rented by Private Landlords.

Often private landlords can work out Rent-to-Own or Lease to Buy options. I would advise that if you were to enter a private agreement for an arrangement to purchase a home this way that you get a real estate attorney to insure things are set up correctly and use an Escrow account to insure your payments are made on any Loan the landlord may have as--it's often the case you pay them and they end up in foreclosure without your even knowing it.

If you can find the down payment and maintain a house payment there is always the possibility of obtaining an FHA Loan. These loans are generally for homes under a specific value.

If I were you--I would reach out in your community... Make your NEED known as widely as possible. Talk to the Pastors of the Churches, send a Press Release to the News Editors--ASK for Help because this is your family! These are your siblings and YOU want to step up you want to provide for them and love them and Need some assistance. You can open a Bank Account for Contributions and set up a PayPal account... There is Nothing Wrong with Asking for Help! You are not responsible for this NEED but want to assume responsibility for your siblings... There will be people who are willing to Help If they Hear your need so do not fear asking. Send a letter to the Masonic Lodge near you -- ASK them for help.

What you are doing for your siblings is very nice but im sorry if you cant aford a big enough house for all of them to live in then how are you going to aford to take care of them and feed them? you cant just always assume that the government will be there for you to fall back on and give you money.
