WE BELIEVE ONE OF THE MOST DIRECT WAYS TO REDUCE POVERTY AND INCREASE ECONOMIC MOBILITY IS TO HELP SINGLE MOTHERS BREAK DOWN BARRIERS AND IMPROVE THEIR EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS SO THEY CAN EARN A LIVABLE WAGE AND SUPPORT THEIR FAMILY. SAINT JOHN'S OPERATES THE LARGEST SHELTER IN THE REGION AND THE ONLY ONE FOCUSED EXCLUSIVELY ON WOMEN AND CHILDREN, THE MOST RAPIDLY-GROWING SEGMENT OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION BOTH REGIONALLY AND NATIONALLY. EVERY DAY, WE SERVE UP TO 180 MOTHERS AND CHILDREN (550 EACH YEAR) YET HAVE AN AVERAGE WAITING LIST OF 250. EXISTING REGIONAL SHELTERS CANNOT ACCOMMODATE THE DEMAND AND MOREOVER, PROVIDE A 30-DAY ROOF ONLY. WOMEN SEEKING REAL CHANGE COME TO US FROM ACROSS CALIFORNIA. POPULATION. OUR WOMEN AVERAGE 33 YEARS OLD WITH TWO CHILDREN (35% WERE TEEN MOMS).
