Separation with baby. What support can I receive?

Hello everyone,

I have a 3-month baby and now I want to separate with my husband. I need to move out, but money situation: I have only Kela äitiyslomaraha + lapsilisä.

How is it possible to rent an apartment somewhere if I don’t have extra money for deposit, plus only Kela money for daily life? I don’t think any owner wants to sign contract with me

I have heard about support from asuntopalvelu that maybe they can help find a place & guarantee for the rental deposit. Is that true and how it works?

Thank you for any information and suggestions
