Man... I dunno. I really don't know how legit THAT site is, I just know that Uncle Sam does give you money for things like that if you qualify. If the risk isn't very high, indulge the info that site has to offer, and see what's up.
Better yet, go to your local City Hall, and get info on what it takes to get a spot downtown. If your credit isn't BAD, you might be surprised if they designate a certain amount for first timers or something.
