Young mothers require the support of a community to raise their children in a nurturing environment. At the Young Mothers Residential Program at Project Row Houses, young single mothers get the support they need to pursue their education and fulfilling careers. The program serves women between the ages of 18 and 26 with up to two years of subsidized housing in a refurbished and furnished row house and also offers counseling. To date, approximately 60 young mothers have advanced through the program.

A $100,000 grant from the Kinder Foundation will support the residential program but also open up the educational component of parenting workshops, financial literacy classes, and life skills development to community residents. Project Row House is an arts and culture nonprofit located in the Third Ward, one of Houston’s oldest African American neighborhoods. Read more about Project Row Houses.
