Urban Institute senior fellow Elaine Waxman and Jeremiah Program president and CEO Chastity Lord know the power of single moms on the economic mobility of entire communities. “Great moms are dreaming in threes: they dream for themselves, they dream for their children, and they naturally dream for their community,” says Lord.
The Jeremiah Program supports single mothers as they invest simultaneously in their own goals as well as their children’s education. Waxman recently published “Policy Levers to Support Single-Mother Economic Mobility” with support from Share Our Strength. “I always think of food insecurity as the canary in the coal mine. It's often the first symptom of instability to emerge because that's a quick way that people can try to move resources around. It's also often one of the last ones to resolve,” she reports.
