I am wondering if anyone knows of a single parent website or resource for roomates? I have been trying to find a place to live and am running into a problem of affordability in my area. I have a 13 year old boy so really need potentially two rooms and also own a cat which poses a whole nother problem.

What can I do next?

check with your city on first time home buyer loans, they do offer first time buyers 0 down with no interest rate loans, if your city doesn't have any loans left try other cities, each city has a certain amount of loans they offer, for low income single parents loans, why not buy your won place instead of paying rent, you would be surprised you might be able to buy your own place, plus this would give you more security... homes are cheaper these days, look around ask for help... you never know,

Really try for this J...

A friend of mine has forwarded me postings of people looking for roomates or sharing houses from "Peachhead" a site devoted to all aspects of parenting. Not sure how to join, but good luck.

Have you tried Craigslist? www.craigslist.com As a single mother of an 8 years old boy I have found it to be an amazing resource. Of course you always have to be careful with connecting with strangers over the internet but if you do some checking and post an ad you might just get lucky. I remember when we first moved here I found several other Moms, some that owned their house after getting divorced that were looking to rent out half the house.
Good luck in your search, and Good for you recognizing that your current living situation is not healthy. As you take control you will find power.

Hi J.,
I am in your same situation, single mom with a toddler looking for roomate in my place. I am in the Torrance area right next to Delthorne Park. I have 2 rooms available but we are not allowed to have any animals here. You can call me if this seems like an option to you. ###-###-#### A.

The website is www.coabode.com and there are great resources there. Good Luck
