Does anyone know where I can look to getting some financial help for housing? I am a single mom of two, ages 2 and 5 months. We are located in Mississippi. Please help me out, we are in desperate need.
 
In Ohio, we have something called Section 8, which is government subsidy for housing and/or full housing help for poor people...It can be an approved home that is for rent or their project buildings. You just have to pray for good neighbors.
Other government programs are available to help pay for rent. go to your local welfare office and ask about metropolitan housing authority and other programs. there are a lot of grants out there for the housing assistance, but you need to find non-profits and other agencies. Try Catholic Charities and Salvation Army for temporary short term assistance while you are looking into these long term programs.
Try WIC (Women Infants Children) for help with food for the babies.
 
Try to get child support from the father(s). Your local social worker (part of the county) can provide advice. Find a job. Consider a career in the military-- they provide allowances for housing, uniform, free medical care and free moving. See if you can move in with your parents or a sibling and be a good roommate. Get on some birth control to avoid having another baby too soon. See if you can find a husband. It might be hard now, but it will be even worse when you are 45 years old. You may be in desperate need, but you are also probably younger, healthier and stronger than many of the ppl here at Y/A!
 
The first respondent is correct. There IS a father for these two children assumably. If the father is alive, he needs to be coughing up financial support to help you house his children. Other than that, you are limited to applying for Sec 8 housing assistance. Be prepared for a roughly two YEAR wait before your name comes up on the list.
 
There are government programs that help people get housing. To find them go to the place where you would apply for your marriage licence or passport and just ask about the programs. Or you can google them and ask them to help you sign up for a particular program.
