The rising cost of living: A dire situation

Palm Beach County has seen a rapid escalation in the cost of living in recent years, making it increasingly difficult for single mothers to make ends meet. Basic necessities like housing, healthcare, education, and childcare have become luxuries that are beyond the financial reach of many single moms. The astounding rise of over 50% in rental prices has been a devastating blow, leaving single moms with limited options and often forcing them to choose between paying rent and providing for their children.

A growing crisis: Evictions and homelessness

As the cost of living continues its upward trajectory, an alarming number of single mothers in Palm Beach County are facing the terrifying prospect of eviction and homelessness. Many find it impossible to keep up with the soaring rental prices, as their wages remain the same, resulting in a vicious cycle of financial instability that puts their families at risk. With limited resources and support networks, these moms are left with few alternatives, which can lead to a devastating downward spiral that affects their children's education, physical and mental health, and overall well-being.
