Mission Statement
Kathy's Place is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty by creating safe and affordable neighborhood communities where single moms are empowered with the resources they need to build a thriving future for their family.
About This Cause
The cost of housing in Portland, the cost of childcare, the cost of education, the difficulty in earning a living wage, and the cost to employment prospects when you are the sole caregiver for your family can make it overwhelming for a single parent. The statistics are much worse if you are a woman, a person of color, and if you lack community, resources, and connections. The trauma and emotional toll it takes on every member of the family, and particularly on the children, is incalculable and the cycle can feel nearly impossible to break. We believe that the cycle of poverty CAN be broken, and that single mothers simply need what our inspiration, Kathy, provided for our founders: a community of support, access to resources, and the time and money to accomplish their dreams. At Kathy’s Place single moms will be empowered to build a new and exciting path for themselves and their family that will lead to transformative, generational change. Kathy’s Place will partner with single moms and collaborate with community partners to alleviate the stressors and barriers to success by providing: Community Housing Education and Career Development A Pathway to Success Time to Create Lasting, Meaningful Change
