How can an unemployed single mother get housing?
I am a single mother without a job. My sperm donor tells me that I must move out his house by next month. I have no where to go. I know that the government can help me. I just dont know how to go about getting help I had to edit this for those who like to judge without knowing the full details....First when I say sperm donor I do not mean my child's father, I mean my father. Secondly I have been looking for a job way before I knew i was going to be homeless...Third point is it would not be a long term thing because I am in school and i am almost through with my nursing degree...Meaning in the next year and a half I would have a career...My grandparents are dead...My other family live very far not close to my school so there is nowhere else I can go. Unless you have walked in my shoes do not judge me just answer the damn question and if you do not know the answer keep it moving. Thank you....I live in Dutchess County, New york
Are there any good housing assistants programs for single mothers?
section 8 vouchers. This is a federal program that funds state and local govts. So your city will have a housing authority of some sort set up. They may even add more money than the federal govt gives them. You have to get on a list most likely and they will interview you and see if you qualify. Then at some point they will give you the voucher. Next problem is to find a landlord willing to do it. Many think you wont take care of the place and don't want to rent to you. The program usually doesnt pay everything they just pay a lot, whatever you qualify for. You pay your portion to the landlord and the govt sends them a check for the rest. They also may not want to cause there is a limit on what can be charged. If the house is worth more you can forget it, so plan on not getting the best part of town or the nicest place. Some landlords will want to do it because the house isn't worth more, these are the houses you will want to stay away from. It would be better to have a landlord asking you what section 8 is and playing to their compasionate side if you are looking for a decent place to live than to find one hunting section 8 prospects down. You will need to find housing that will accept you once you have been approved. The process may take some time as there may be a waiting list. Ask them how long it is. At least you will be on the road to getting out, showing your parents that you are moving toward it may help the relationship while you wait. Good luck
Should i marry a single mother?
I moved in with a 42 y/o single mother about 4 months ago. She has a 12 y/o son and a good job. At the time i moved in i was not aware of hypergamy and the red pill. She would like for us to get married and buy a house, but she doesn't want any more kids. Now i'm asking myself "what about my own house, what about having my own kids, why am i commuting 45 miles to be with her and kid who half pretends to like me?" I feel like i got a marathon medal without running a marathon.
17 year old single mom. How do I apply for Low-income Housing?
You don't. You have to be 18 in most counties to qualify for housing assistance. Plus, you are under 18 and cannot sign into a legal agreement (aka the rental contract). And FYI, in many areas there is a wait list. Our city has a 7 year wait list to get an INTERVIEW. EDIT --- checked their website. You cannot apply until you turn 18. Also, they are NOT accepting applications right now. The site says the application to be placed on wait list might open up late 2012. Am I eligible to apply? • In order to submit an application, the waiting list must be open. (If the waiting list for a particular program is closed, applications are not being accepted.) • The applicant (head-of-household) must be at least 18 years of age as of the date they submit their application. (HACM will verify age of the applicant at a later date through a birth certificate or INS documents. If HACM learns later that someone wasn’t 18 when they submitted their application, they will be notified that their application is ineligible.) What if I’m not 18 years old yet? • If you aren’t 18 yet, you must wait until you turn 18 before you are eligible to apply for housing. If the waiting list closes before you turn 18, you will have to wait until the waiting list opens again before you’re eligible to apply. Can I have a co-signer? • No. The Housing Authority does not allow for co-signers to an application or dwelling lease. EDIT --- thank you Jenny, and for the young mom, kudos grandma is letting you stay. You do sound like you have plans. does she consider you a burden? living with grandma for a bit might be actually a way for you to move up in the world, best wishes
Should I move out, leaving behind my single mom?
There’s no right or wrong answer here. When you say “help buy a home”, you’re not really being clear as to what you mean. Are you going to buy the home yourself, and pay for it, or let her pay you to stay in the home? Do you mean you’re going to give her the down payment that she needs? Are you going to apply for the loan along with her, because she doesn’t have the necessary credit? Is the issue her income alone won’t qualify her, so you need to include your income as a co-applicant? It’s hard to answer with any certainty when you haven’t provided any pertinent details. If your mom hasn’t been able to save on her own to buy a house, how do you know she can afford to pay the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and maintenance once you’ve helped her buy the house? I would say if you are sure she could afford the house by herself if she only had the down payment, first see if there are any programs that she can take advantage of to assist with the down payment, so that you can keep saving your money for your own home. If the issue is her credit, and it’s because she is terrible at managing finances and paying bills on time, having a long term commitment such as a house is only going to make things worse, especially if you’re a co-applicant on the mortgage, in the event she can’t pay her portion and you’re stuck carrying the full burden on your own. If this is the situation, and she finds herself not able to make the payments at one point, are you going to be able to step in and help out, so she doesn’t lose the house (and your hard-earned money along with it)? It sounds like you make a promise to your mom that you didn’t fully think through, and now you’re on the hook and don’t want to feel bad about going back on your word. If it means that much to you, find a way to make it happen without keeping yourself stuck living at home, without jeopardizing your own credit, and without emptying your bank account. Again, it’s hard to answer when you haven’t really explained much. Helping her buy a home can mean many things to many people, and nobody can know exactly what it means to you unless you say it.

Trying to move out of my parent's house as a single mom?
I am 21 year old single parent who has a two year old girl named June :)...I'll try to keep this short and sweet! Bottom line, my parents do not like me very much. I live in their house as of now and my mom helps me tremendously because she loves and adores June very much. Most of the time, living here is fine, but sometimes living here is taking a toll on me. There are days when my parents don't even talk to me, days when they yell at me (for illegitimate and nasty things, i.e. "Why are you looking in the mirror? You can't fix ugly."), or tell me to get out (and leave June behind...) it's just a bad situation. Also, June and I share a room and I feel like she needs more space. I've been dating my boyfriend Hunter for about a year now, and he was talking about maybe getting a place together in July. I'm very serious about this guy, he loves me and it RADIATES that he loves June as if she were his. Even my family says so (although you may say they're sort of invalid...),,, I'm still hesitant though. I am going to school every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9-1 Hunter works 9-6 M-F, I'm sure my mom will be upset if I tell her that I'm leaving (she'll feel like I'm taking the baby away from her) so I think if I asked her to watch June those three times a week she would be happy. But I was thinking maybe June could spend the night at my parent's house Sunday night, Tuesday night, and Thursday night so that I didn't have to wake her up at 6 to take her over there before school? Am I doing the right thing? Does anyone have any advice for this stuff?
