But I keep forgetting. You don't have Socialism in America. In my country you can get a domestic purposes benefit plus an accommodation grant and landlords are pleased to see you.

Yeah, just about every woman in the shelter who has not moved out and in with extended family has gone through the same thing. It's *hard* to have three times your rent as income as a single mom starting over.
I know moms with teens who have moved out into studio apartments. And others who have pooled their resources and moved two families into 2-bedroom apartments. I'm lucky enough to have some resources and to have found a subsidized apartment. They're few and far between...
