Assistance for Women and Single Moms

Single mothers are the group most assistance programs are designed around. Income limits are set per household size, so a mother with two children qualifies at a much higher income than a single adult, and several charities and state programs give mothers priority for cars, housing and emergency cash.

The guides here are the ones written with women and single moms in mind. Where a program is open to everyone, the guide says so and explains what changes for a mother applying with children.
