Abstract
Being a single mother can be difficult, especially when a single mother has little or no income. Nationally, over 43% of households headed by single women with children live in poverty and over 56.7% of poor children lived with single mothers. (Hess et al., 2015; National Women’s Law Center, 2015). In Texas, 41.8% of female-headed households live in poverty (National Women’s Law Center, 2015). With these startling statistics, most federal and state programs only provide temporary assistance and do not help single mothers escape poverty longterm (Single Mother Guide, 2016).
