Best Answer

Actually you can through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It is not likely that a lender would grant a loan to a person whose sole income is from Social Security benefits of any type. From the economic standpoint it would not be feasible for someone to use SS benefits for the purchase of a home unless they could put down a very large downpayment or had other sources of income.
