Mom is moving in. Are there grants available for adding an inlaw or moving to a home of suitable size?
My husband and I have 3 children and it's time for mom to not live on her own. I need more room but need help with either a deposit for a more suitable home or changes to my present home. Are there grants available for this?
If your mom is selling a home can she use some of that to help you but a bigger house? If so, make sure her name is on deed with you and husband with right of survivorship and her interest in house will not be included in her estate.
Blakebug, sorry no grants to help you pay to add an inlaw suite to your home. Check with a local bank to see if you can obtain a loan at a good interest, or get an equity-line-of-credit from the equity in your house.
If cash is tight, and you add your Mom to the household, will you and hubby be able to pay for the extra costs? Or will Mom pay you some funds each month to help out?

I see nothing in your profile about how old your mother is or what her health conditions are.
What is her situation?
Who is going to be taking care of her?
Does she have any finances to use to pay for extra help?
What is your relationship with your mother like?
Are you her only child or do you have siblings?
How does your husband feel about all of this? What is your husband's relationship with your mother like?
