I combine their results if they are married because married couples, particularly with children, have greater stability than any other relationship.

Here is one that is currently going around in my town of Waterloo, IA that i think could be a big deal for landlords:The Community Development Waterloo, Iowa Lead Hazard Control Grant completes improvements to your home to remove lead based paint up to $40,000.Both owner-occupied and rental homes can participate.Your home must have been built before 1978You must be income eligible & have children under the age of 6 who reside or visit frequently.This money can be used to replace windows, doors, or siding with lead-based paint.

Another Indy development is going to include the Children's Museum and just under $30M there for expansions, but not as ready to go (yet) or in progress as 16 Tech area- worth watching however!

Says a lot about the poverty wages they normally are paid.About the only "saving grace" - if there is any - is the additional supplement for children / dependents.

I have 3 younger children. 11,11 and 9.

We both worked shift work and decided we wanted to spend more time raising our children.

Families with children are not cramming into 1 and 2 bedroom condos in DC for the schools. 

For example a single mother with 2 kids and a bf may want the bf to be an occupant in case things don't work out she can make him leave and maintain a stable living situation for her children.

Look at the space requirements for children in foster care.

I wouldn’t even want to share a house with friends or family members unless it’s my wife or children.
