CoAbode (Housing) Social isolation and loneliness are epidemic and have a profound effect on cognition and health. Consistent human connection - community - is central to physical and emotional health and CoAbode fosters these significant benefits across the spectrum. CoAbode was originally founded on the principle that two single mums raising children together can achieve more than one going it alone. Combining resources allows single mothers and their kids to afford a better home in a better school district, helps lighten the load of parenting and childcare, and enhances their economic opportunities. CoAbode is the next generation of social networking, taking interaction off the screen and into day-to-day life. We match people for home-sharing based on personality, what each person values, and for community building at every stage of life, building stable homes, shared childcare and stability in uncertain times. Real life social connection and home-sharing builds health and well-being and millions of Americans can benefit from our approach to community building through CoAbode. Two adults sharing a home have the financial benefits of married couples, are afforded more free time, greater access to opportunity, and the security of knowing their children are safe, their bills are paid, and their savings of time and money are growing.

Child and Dependent Tax Credit Caring for baby can get expensive. You may be able to claim the child and dependent care credit if you paid expenses for the care of a qualifying individual to enable you (and your spouse, if filing a joint return) to work or actively look for work. Generally, you may not take this credit if your filing status is married filing separately. However, see What’s Your Filing Status? in Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses, which describes an exception for certain taxpayers living apart from their spouse and meeting other requirements. The amount of the credit is a percentage of the amount of work-related expenses you paid to a care provider for the care of a qualifying individual. The percentage depends on your adjusted gross income. To contact, visit the website or call. website ​ Caring for Baby Financial Support: Back to Resource List
