The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has safe, affordable homes for low-income single mothers. The selections include apartments, single family houses and townhouses at rates that vary by location. Single mothers should learn more about the programs and see if they qualify.
What it is:
HUD has a public housing program for people in need of local, affordable housing. The main applicants are single mothers, low-income families, the disabled and the elderly. HUD provides federal assistance to local housing agencies (HAs) that serve low-income communities.
HUD properties are owned by the government and offered to tenants at affordable rental rates. More than 1.2 million people reside in various types of public housing in the United States.

Tenants have to meet qualifications for public housing before they apply. Your local housing agency determines eligibility requirements based on your annual gross income, geographic location, and family size. Single mothers, families elderly people and the disabled are likely to be approved. The exact requirements vary by city and state. Look on the HUD site or contact your local HA to see the specific income limits set in your area.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program provides rental assistance to eligible families. The public housing agencies (PHAs) administer the vouchers and pay the landlords directly. The Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) helps homeless and/or low-income, military individuals and families. HUD has additional housing-related programs that involve job training, homeownership support, and elderly assistance.
How to apply:
Contact the nearest HA agency to apply independently or with a representative. Fill out a written application and include the names of every person living in the unit. Include your current contact details and living circumstances along with detailed information about landlords and employers. To check your income eligibility, have documented sources of your family’s current income.
The HA representative verifies this information and may schedule an interview with you. After the application process is completed, you may be notified immediately in writing or you might be placed on a waiting list.
If you are accepted, sign the lease with the representative and provide the security deposit. He or she determines the rental amount, also known as the Total Tenant Payment (TTP), based on 30% of your monthly adjusted income and 10% of your monthly income. The representative may allow certain deductions for families with dependent, elderly, or disabled members.
The HA contacts you every 12 months and sees if you qualify to remain in public housing. Continue to live in a safe, sanitary environment in order to keep the lease indefinitely.
