WHY IS THE MOM COMMUNITY NEEDED?
Of the babies born in the 30314 zip code in the past 12 months, 82% were born to single moms. More than half of these families are living in poverty.
Many young moms drop out of school when they become pregnant, which impacts their ability to get a job and provide for their family. Housing instability is a chronic problem, and, along with economic stress, unreliable childcare, and lack of supportive family systems, makes providing for children extremely challenging for young moms.
Children raised in single-parent families are more likely to have children at a young age, continuing a generational cycle. Without support, moms sometimes lose custody of their children.
WHAT IS THE MOM COMMUNITY’S SOLUTION?
Through providing a Christ-centered home, a peaceful environment, supportive services, and staff who care personally about each mom, women are given an opportunity to grow into healthy, stable living. While living life together, our staff has the opportunity to share how the gospel brings hope to every part of our lives.
We are working to support the health of women and children, reduce child neglect and abandonment, advocate for better birth outcomes, provide education and job opportunities that aid self-sufficiency, and surround women with community and friendship.
