Young single mum working part time

I'm 20 years old my sons 19 months, I can't afford child care so I work Saturday and Sundays so my mum babysits. I don't receive any money off the child's father and still live at home. Everwhere wants a guarantor for rented house and I don't have one. Is there anywhere I could get a 2 bedroom house or ground floor flat without a garantor and would I get housing benefits?Thanks

Could your mum nor be guarantor?
Why do you not get any money from the child's father - you're working hard to pay his share of raising your child! I presume you're also doing all the actual raising too?

My mum said no as did my dad and grandparents and he always has no money 🙄 I don't rely on the child's father for anything I have to buy everything including birthday and Christmas presents and put his name on them

I'm sorry. Sounds tough.
I suspect you are just going to have to save until you have a good deposit.
