I am looking for financial aid for single parents?

I'm a single parent. I need everything, financial aid, support, parenting tips, etc. Is there any website that has all this information?

Here are some links...

Call your local health department and ask them. Request a social worker. I know you hear a lot of bad things about social workers, like going to homes where kids are being mistreated, but they also do a lot of good for good parents too.

Contact your local Department of Job and Family Services. They will give you ALL of the information you need. I'm not sure if this info is on the website, but they can definetly get you in touch with the right people even if you don't need services from the Department of job and family services. You can get aid for tuition, books,childcare, gasoline to get to school and any income you may lose out on by going to school. You can actually get paid to go to school. You've made a wonderful decision to go back to school. Way To Go!!

If you are low income, you can qualify for state aid in the form of food stamps, insurance, day care payments, and more. You would also qualify for WIC, which provides some types of food for your child, including formula for infants under 1.

State aid can be petitioned for through your county agency- sometimes called Social Services, Family Services, Family Independance Agency, etc.

WIC can usually be petitioned for through the local Health Department.

These are income based, and they require proof of income, proof of bills (utilities, rent, house payments, insurances, etc). Some bills count towards what you have available per month for income. For instances, if you make $150 a week take home, that's $600 a month take home. They'll look at your utility bills (gas, electric, water), your housing & insurance bills (car insurance, house insurance, house payment or rent) and subtract those from your income. Bills they will NOT subtract are extras- credit cards, student loans, car loans, cell phones, etc. Those are not needed items, so those are not considered a neccessary bill.

For instance, if you live in a subsidized housing unit, and pay 30% of your income, then your rent would be $180 a month. Add in the bills, and what's left is what they would consider your income. That's how they base what you get for government help.

For parenting support & tips, look in your own community. Many churches have playgroups for kids, which also gets the mom's & dad's together. In my area, we have an online Yahoo group for Mom's in our local town. We get together twice a week for play dates, but also have a weekly mom's night out for scrapbooking.

There are several government funded programs to assist single parents, see the list of sources.

there is no financial aid for parents. it's called child support.
