episode Jaymi Anderson: The Genesis Project's Holistic Approach to Empowering Single Moms cover

Beskrivelse

When single mothers face addiction, domestic violence, or financial crisis, a few months of help isn't enough. Jaymi Anderson, Executive Director of The Genesis Project of Northern Colorado, explains why her organization walks alongside families for up to five years—providing fully furnished housing, weekly counseling, career development, and community support. In this episode, Jaymi shares her unexpected journey from small-town Montana teacher to nonprofit leader, reveals why stabilization must come before job training, and explains the "ALICE" trap (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) that keeps working single mothers stuck in poverty. She also discusses how a $400/month raise can actually cost families $750 in benefits—and why relationships matter more than money when it comes to lasting change.
