City and state single mom help
I am a single mom and even tho I make decent income 70k w year it feels like I am broke and I am afraid of things getting worse. I was wondering if anyone has tips on goverment programs you can share to help all of us single moms take care of our children
Thank you!

How much are you paying in rent? I would look for and apply for low income housing. You can qualify for like $1550/rent I believe. I’m on waiting lists atm (I currently live with my mother but pay $1433 in rent). I make $66k (gross not net), and it’s definitely bad out there with mega high food prices. I feel broke all the time too. I dont qualify for govt programs anymore, but what I do is pick up food at my local church now (they usually dont give organic which is what I try to buy, so I dont go all the time).
Also I use Rakutten for shopping which gives you cash back for just shopping, Target I have the redcard for 5% discount, and I have a chase card with 0% interest for 18 months that gives 3% cash back on food places and 1.5% on the rest. It’s not much but at least it helps a little bit
