Help single mothers to rent a flat

 There are many types of families and each one, depending on its characteristics and resources, has access to a series of subsidies. The single-parent model is one of those that has more different needs and for this reason there are, for example, aid for single mothers to rent a flat in a specific way.

Currently, this kind of family is on the rise, where women are usually the main protagonists because they decide to have a child independently. According to a report by the Adecco Foundation, single-parent families have experienced an increase of 78% in recent years and, in addition, in 9 out of 10, the only parent is a woman. In these cases, the main problem that mothers encounter is their low income, as well as the impossibility of taking advantage of a reduced working day so that their economic level is not diminished.

As a general rule, aid for single mothers to rent a flat is regulated at the regional level. Thus, it is advisable to go to the body that manages the issue of housing in each region to find out what the requirements are and under what conditions the subsidy is offered. An example is that of the Community of Madrid, where aid is contemplated to rent a house of up to 40% of the annual income , with a maximum of 3,200 euros.

Other help for single mothers to rent a house

The State Housing Plan for the 2018-2021 period is focused on facilitating both the rental and purchase of housing. Although it is not specific aid for single mothers who want to rent a flat, this group can also access these subsidies if they meet the established requirements:

  • Rental assistance for those under 35 years of age

Women with children between the ages of 18 and 35 can apply for this benefit, which covers up to 50% of the rent of a home. To do this, it is necessary that the income is less than 3 times the Public Indicator of Income for Multiple Effects (IPREM), as well as proof that no other property is owned.

  • Rental assistance for women between 35 and 65 years old

In the event that the single-parent family has economic difficulties and the mother is in this age range, this aid reaches up to 40% of the rental income. In the event that there is a member with a disability, the requirement that marks the income limit is reduced.

These aids are set for leases of less than 600 euros, although in those cities where the rent is excessively high and the apartment reaches the price of 900 euros, the 40% or 50% subsidy is maintained, depending on the case, for the first 600 euros and for the remaining 300 euros a reduction of 30% is applied.

In addition, this plan also includes a special point for those people who have suffered an eviction . If so, the State assumes 80% of the rent payment and the corresponding autonomous community the remaining 20%. Thus, the affected single-parent family can rent an apartment whose income is up to 400 euros per month for a period of 3 years.

Each autonomous community is responsible for managing this type of aid, so the application process and deadlines vary from one locality to another according to what is established by each regulation.

Getting financial help for care is difficult but possible

  Leveraging assets like your home is one option, but proceed carefully. Owning a home can help For most people, their home is the largest source of unused funds.  The average homeowner between the ages of 55 and 64 had a home equity of $133,000 in 2018, according to the most recently available data from the US Census Bureau .  Those over 65 had an average equity of $174,000. If the only real option for a loved one receiving care is an assisted living or nursing home, then selling the home is an ideal way to raise money.  Someone who needs extra money to pay for home care could buy a smaller, less expensive house or condo and use the proceeds to pay for additional medical expenses. In many cases, proceeds from the sale of a primary residence—a home you've owned and lived in for at least two years—are tax-free.  There is no capital gains tax on up to $250,000 of gains from a home sale for a single homeowner and up to $500,000 for a married couple. However, many ...
