The need for HomeStretch services has also grown. Today, the poverty rate in Georgia tops 18% and is even higher for single mothers. Over 26% of our children live in poverty. Single parents, earning minimum wage, are forced to spend more than 30% of their income for housing leaving very little for food, clothing, utilities, transportation, child care and medical care. One unexpected expense will be devastating.
