I am a single mom of a two year old and any resources would be appreciated. I am trying to get housing for my son and I my funds are limited.
The housing programs here in anne arundel co have no funding to help me. I have went as far as to contact the senator's office for some resolution to no avail. I feel as if the programs here in my area are of no help for mother's in my situation that are working and trying to make things happen. At this point I am desperate to find a solution to my housing situation to provide some stability for my two year old.
Any suggestions?

hi angie,

i am in the same boat as you. i am single mom to a 15 month old son. i just recently moved to howard cty - i got lucky & found a rental TH in my price range 3 months ago. the landlord is a cheesy cheapskate, but hey, its our own place!!! we were w/ my mom for the first year. what is your current living situation?

i wish i had some info for you - i am always searching & always hitting road blocks. i work fulltime & make decent money, but once i pay rent, utils, gas, daycare & food there is NOTHING left over. it's not fair that we are out here doing the right thing & can just barely make ends meet!!!

i think what really bothers me is seeing other moms who do qualify for rent vouchers & daycare voucher & they are driving nicer cars than mine & have nicer clothes than me - i just don't get it.

oh well, i just try to be grateful for what i do have. let me know if you ever wanna chat or vent. for now i am doing this alone - my sons father rarely comes to visit so i never really get a break.

good luck to you.

Hi Angie,

Recently a freind of mine in the same situation as you was looking for a rental. She called DHR here in Ga, and they had a list of apartments that pro rate for single parents she got a nice, big, in a beatiful neighborhood for about 250$ less than mine which is smaller. God Bless you!

Hi Hanzi,
Thanks for the reply. That's great that you found your own place. My current living situation is everywhere. My mom's sometimes then my grandmother's and also a friend of mine.Noone has the room for me to stay for a long period of time.I do know how you feel about almost never getting some alone time Kaleb's father has been away (long story) since april of 02 and he wolnt be back untill oct of 05 I dont get much of a break myself his father's parents never call or come to see Kaleb and I get a little help hear and there from my mother. I just love my little boy so much it's worth it. Im usually at work when I post stuff. You can email me and I can reply whenever

Take care,
Angie

Hi Drew,
Thanks for the info I have tried that here in maryland. They just dont have the resources here that they do in GA. I have considered moving out of state somewhere like NC but Im still debating on that. I do thank you for the information though.
Thank ya Thank ya
