EDUCATION

Education is the most constant variable in economic stability by means of increased income outside of marital status and this increase in income directly influences the amount individuals are able to spend on housing expense.  The goal is to apply this knowledge to educating single mothers by providing them with affordable housing so they can use these savings in housing expense as an opportunity to complete a post-secondary education.

HOUSING

Housing is a family’s highest monthly expense typically accounting for upwards of a third of a family’s income (Economic News Release, 2015).  Poverty’s limitation on such spending determines where families can afford to live, and has a direct effect on which neighborhoods become the most desirable and beautiful places to call home.  We provide affordable housing for single mothers and their children so their largest expense can be reduced and they can direct more attention to reaching their educational goals.
