Single mums turn to shared housing
Saturday 23rd May, 2026
In Australia, rising rents and rental discrimination are driving single mothers to share homes with other single mums to split costs, childcare and domestic tasks; online groups and community initiatives are linking women seeking co-housing while exposing broader gaps in affordable, long-term housing and welfare. This gives Rightmove a chance to join the conversation about how online property platforms can better support diverse household types, highlight shared-housing listings and tools, and surface options for renters and agents in the UK facing similar affordability pressures.
