help reduce number of broken homes
Now serving 5 single parents
Now housing 3 single parents
We are a newly incorporated non-profit, hoping to become a housing option for struggling single parents. We are in the beginning stages of this plan and are open to any collaborations or partnerships to see this become another housing option aiding in the struggle to reduce homelessness. As well as reducing the predispositioned negative outcomes directly connected to the broken home syndrome by offering reduced rates homes for single parents for a period of time while we walk with them to being able to provide sustainable security for themselves throughout their childs future growing years. We are still waiting on our 501(c)3 status so any contributions or donations for the parents we are currently servicing would be greatly appreciated. For more information on how you can help make this a real option please call (360)480-1229 or email sfdorg0@gmail.com
In loving Memory and Honor of the original co-founder, a struggling single parent for 17 yrs., & a statistic of the broken home syndrome himself; Bryan Peek.
Lets make his dream of opening another housing option for single parents a reality!

I am a long time recipient of all kinds of human services. I have found myself homeless in various times during my life. These times range from when I was a lot younger and an addict just beginning my recovery journey, to a college student, to a pregnant single person working at dollar tree. Each time I was able to find a housing option through human services in the area in a reasonable amount of time. Except when I was pregnant working a part time job. I was lucky ,if you want to call it lucky, enough to end up in a domestic violence situation with my kids dad so I was able to secure a housing option before my son was born through safeplace. Had I not had the dv incident I was going to be waiting on housing through Family support center for 18-24 months minimum. What would I have done homeless with my new born baby? I cant even imagine the life we would have had to endure. Finding this out from my own experience: where as long as I stayed clean and went to meetings my rent and power were paid for 2 yrs; and then to find no help when I needed it most and when I would have used the time given to ensure I was capable of providing security for us long term was a huge eye opener. After graduating college in Applied Science and Human Services and interning at Family Education and support services, seeing their kinship program; I set out to make a new option for struggling single parents and have been working on this nonprofit becoming a real option ever since. There needs to be something besides Family Support Center for those parents who just because they are single struggle paycheck to paycheck, Co-habitating with other friends or families because their minimum wage job isnt enough to pay even the rent here in Wa state. With the security of having a home to call their own, children being raised by single parents wont have as many of the negative outcomes that are shown to be directly related to being raised in a broken or single parent home. We hope to give them reasonable time of reduced rent cost to save up for their own place and/or pursue education or training that will allow them to have higher income jobs by the time they leave SFD.Founder/ Dedicated to

I am doing this to show support for my God son and because I've been friends with Tianna for close to 30 years. I've watched her struggles and seen that here in Olympia she was able to find the help she needed to get on her feet each time with the help of human services in the area. She was extremely disturbed by the fact that she would not have been housed with a home for her new baby to come home to with the available resources in the area as a pregnant woman with a part time job. Unfortunately for her, her dv situation with her kids dad got her the help she needed to have a home for her to bring her baby home too, but there should be more resources for this population of people who will use them to gain stability and security for themselves and their children long-term.Administration Assistant
