You can not really remove legal correct debts and late pays from your report. but esp if you are saving money for a down payment, expect to need at least 10 percent to 20 percent for a down payment now adays.

the best thing you can do is save for a down payment. The more you can put down on a home, the better chance you have of getting a loan.

But I have to take exception to your thinking that having a house means a better life for your child. There are very nice apartment complexes in many areas, that have green spaces, safe playgrounds etc. Going deep in debt to buy a house doesn't mean a better life.
