Women and Girls Fund Meets
Obstacles That Women Face Head-On
Joy Reigns Lutheran Church Pastor Sara Yotter breathes a heavy sigh when asked about
the obstacles confronting women in recovery and their children. She points to daily
barriers that can make an already difficult journey even harder: too little support, lack of
transportation, high rent costs, and unreliable childcare. “It can be a struggle, especially
for those who don’t have an outside support system,” said Pastor Sara.
Pastor Yotter speaks to CFAAC sta昀昀 members Rosalind Calvin and
Renée Houston Zemanski, and CFAAC Trustee Naeemah Sta最最s
during a tour of the Journey to Joy Recovery House.
For a mother leaving a recovery
home, staying sober is incredibly
hard — and even harder when she
must also figure out where to safely
go next with her children as well
as how to pay the rent. Joy Reigns’
Journey to Joy Program meets
women at that critical transition,
giving them the time and support to
rebuild their lives while welcoming
multiple children, including teens.
CFAAC’s Women & Girls Fund grant allowed the Journey to Joy Recovery House to
provide four months of recovery rental assistance to nine mothers and children living
in its supportive and affordable sober living house. The funding helps prevent housing
instability by providing a unique affordable recovery housing model that bridges the
gap between actual costs and what these mothers can afford at 30% of their income.
The grant and other grants covered the rest of expenses for
this recovery housing program for women and children and the
residents only had to cover 19% of total expenses with their own
contributions. Joy Reign’s Journey to Joy Program is just one of the
nonprofits the Women & Girls Fund has helped. Scan to read
the rest of the story.
