Shelter Availability
I am a single mom in the US and completing my pw for my German Passport. I plan on returning to Germany in the summer. Although, I have my mother in Germany, I cannot live with her and would need housing assistance. I would like to know if there are shelters. How do I go about getting information on that and/or what would the process look like? I am with a child.

Hi, thank you for posting your question on our forum.
There are different types of housing in Germany depending on your residency status and your financial situation.
If you are a German citizen with no income, you can contact the Job Centre for helping you pay for housing.
You will still have to find housing by yourself. I would recommend you read our chapter on finding housing in Germany, it has quite useful information.

Unfortunately, the application for financial housing assistance can take quite a bit of time. So, it would be a good idea to find a short-term solution for housing in the meantime. You can book a hotel/hostel if that is an option.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Best wishes
