Throughout all of Arizona, nearly 34% of families are considered single-parent homes. When either only Mom or Dad live with the kids, there are certain things that the family experiences or encounters where you may wish you had Phoenix storage units near you. Take a look at the 3 ways a Phoenix storage unit may be able to help single-parent families and why they should consider renting a storage unit from us at US Storage Centers. Separation Marital separations can be hard on everyone involved, and it can put particular strain on the newly single parents who have responsibility over their children. When separations require a family to move to another place or home, this often means the family’s living space downsizes, leaving too much stuff to fit in too little space. Through the help of a storage unit, this particular situation becomes less burdensome. First, the storage unit allows the single parent to rent a smaller space without having to worry about where their stuff should be kept. Second, the storage unit will allow a family to find a more affordable place to live without needing extra space for spare belongings. Many separated parents will often turn to our Phoenix storage units to ensure they have help with this particularly difficult transition. Passing of a Spouse Another really difficult situation for parents is when one or the other passes away, especially unexpectedly. This brings all of the troubles mentioned with a separation in addition to extra belongings that belonged to the deceased loved one. While we recognize that self-storage will not necessarily help single parents to ease the passing of their loved one, knowing that storage units in Phoenix are available may make the transition process a little easier. Many families who go through this may find it helpful to store furniture, clothing, or children’s items to better organize their lives. They may also store extra items, recreational vehicles, or other sports equipment, such as ATVs, golf carts, or even kayaks and canoes. Whatever you need help organizing, a storage unit in the city may be able to help you. As Your Children Grow You may find that as a single parent in Phoenix, you may still need a storage unit later in life and as your children grow up. Your children often acquire things that they grow out of, like clothing and different types of furniture (changing tables, cribs, etc.). As your children acquire new things and grow out of others, this is often a good time to keep unused items in self-storage, especially if you intend to use the items again, for example, with another child. You can also find comfort knowing that your items are not only being kept safe and secure, you also have access to them almost any time you would like throughout the year. Getting a Storage Unit for Your Family There are numerous reasons to invest in a storage unit.
