The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers government grants for single mothers to use towards buying a home. They also offer affordable housing assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program. The social rehabilitation service also procures housing at deep discounts. Details on the Housing Grants program for single mothers can be found here.

Food
Food stamps are distributed by each state to provide nutritious food to single mothers and their growing children. Based on one’s earnings, a specific amount is allotted to single mothers to provide free or discounted foods through food stamps.

Healthcare
Finally, financial help is provided for single mothers who need assistance for insurance and health care expenses. The U.S Department of Health and Human Services offers low cost health insurance coverage to families with low earnings. The federal program is called “Insure Kids Now.” Some states may provide additional coverage to needy families.
