EMPOWERING WOMEN
C'est Ma Vie Homes,Inc is a volunteer run charitable organization ,a 501(C)(3) IRS status ,focused on providing affordable living to women on Staten island,New York.Our mission is to improve all aspects of women's lives. A safe and affordable home that provides long term stability for women which is cruial for raising the
quality of life for families and enhancing the communities.
LONG TERM STABILITY of Families is essential for Coomunities.
INITIATIIVES:
Our dedicated volunteers are involved in assisting women who are in various transition periods in their lives.While creating a community that supports women,we are often reminded that going through a difficult period in life need not lead to feelings of shame or stigmatization. These feelings are compounded especially when women need to confront housing problems that may come with single motherhood or having little credit history. We remind all women that they are not alone in this process. We work to match women who are thus able to pool their resources together to rent a comfortable space they may call home.
BUILDING COMMUNITY FABRIC
C'est Ma Vie Homes,Inc. recognizes that while relief efforts geared towards immediate homelessness and hunger are essential to servicing the communities,the long term mission should be in building a social fabric while providing the stability of living conditions in which under-served communities may flourish. This indicates a long term need for affordable housing for the hard working people of Staten Island. While single adult males have often times been able to overcome the problem of housing by pooling resources together and renting single rooms,the same has not necessarily been the case for women who often times require more than "a bed", especially when they are the sole bread winner of a single-parent home. We aim to provide them the opportunity to raise their families in safer and sounder neighborhoods while making sure that their children grow up in better,safer homes.
CHILDREN In Today's American Families
There has been a tremendous increase in the number of single-parent households over the past several decades. According to facts published by the U.S.Census Bureau,the ratio of one parent families to family households has grown from 11 percent in 1970 to 27 percent in 1998. the majority of single-parent households are headed by women. In fact,among 11.9 million single parents in the United States, 9.8 million are women.Unfortunately,children in female-headed families are much more likely to grow up in poverty, and their future prospects are bleaker.
