Low cost housing and free child care affords our single moms the opportunity to attend school. (Each resident, assisted by our professional staff, creates a plan of action to achieve their educational and vocational goals.) On site programs such as parenting, self-esteem and budgeting enhance the experience of living at Our Mother's House and assists moms to develop life skills for independence and self-sufficiency. House meetings and shared responsibilities afford each resident the opportunity to share in their own community. While living in a private apartment, the community setting teaches residents skills needed to live as a good neighbor and active citizen of a community.
