About two-thirds of all children who live below poverty in Ohio, live in single-mother (or grandmother) households. Often poverty can be mistaken as neglect (due to correlating poor housing conditions or food insecurity) and can result in increased child welfare reporting and substantiation for low-income families.
Often, the vulnerable single moms in our communities don’t have the healthy village-like support that is needed when raising children. One of our passions at Hope Bridge is to be that village. In our program, single moms, age 18 and older, work to set goals with the guidance of dedicated and supportive staff, while living in a comfortable residential setting with her children for approximately 9-12 months.
