Program accomplishments
- FAMILY STABILITY: FREEDOM COMMUNITIES' MOMS MOVING FORWARD PROGRAM (MMF) TAKES A HOLISTIC AND COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACH TO DRIVE UPWARD MOBILITY AND FAMILY STABILITY FOR SINGLE MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. DURING OUR PAID 12 MONTH PROGRAM, WE WORK SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH EACH PARTICIPANT AND HER CHILD (REN), CONNECTING THEM TO HOLISTIC RESOURCES AS THEY BUILD A NETWORK OF SUPPORT WITH OTHER FAMILIES.

WE PARTNER WITH MOTHERS IN OUR MOMS MOVING FORWARD PROGRAM, LINKING EACH MOTHER TO HOLISTIC RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THE EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS OF HER CHILD(REN). UPON LEARNING THAT THE CORRIDOR WAS A "CHILDCARE DESERT" FOR AGES 0-3, WE PARTNERED WITH A LOCAL LEADER AND PRESCHOOL PROVIDER RESPONSIBLE FOR GENERATING THE BEST READERS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS TO EXPAND HER EXISTING CENTER ON-SITE AT OUR TUCK OPPORTUNITY HUB. THE CENTER OPENED IN JANUARY OF 2022 WITH SPACE FOR 77 CHILDREN.Expenses $275,862

WITH A TAGLINE OF "FAMILY-CENTERED COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION", WE INVEST SIMULTANEOUSLY IN FAMILIES AND IN INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT AS FAMILIES TRANSFORM, THEIR COMMUNITY DOES TOO. BEYOND MMF, WE CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FREEDOM DRIVE CORRIDOR TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH ALL FAMILIES CAN THRIVE. WE HAVE LEVERAGED CROSS-SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS TO CREATE AFFORDABLE RENTAL AND HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.
