Single Family Living

Mission: To empower, mentor, and inspire children from single parent households by providing holistic support that addresses education achievement, emotional well-being, and economic stability.

Single Family Living (SFL) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in the year 2013 in Michigan by a single parent, Jeri Hunley (Founder). Ms. Hunley was faced with isolation and preconceived stereotypes from society due to her marital status. Ms. Hunley realized that statistically, children from single parent homes are more likely to grow up in a life of crime, poverty, and lack of quality education. Ms. Hunley was determined to do something about being another statistic and strived for higher education for herself. However, she did not stop and think about herself but she thought about others in her situation.  As a passionate single mom, our founder understands the trials & tribulations; the temporary setbacks, overcoming-the-odds, sacrifice, hoping for understanding and wanting the best for your children. Ms. Hunley is a true testament to “not give up & defy all odds against you!”

Single Family Living is committed to serving those who need it most: children in under-resourced communities who do not have access to quality education, due to economic and/or social barriers. Our vision is to reduce the crime rates that stalk our children living in poverty-stricken single-parent homes. We provide children with an opportunity to learn through various educational programs that focus on literacy, math, and science while also providing them with support services such as tutoring and mentorship programs; as well as community outreach events aimed at engaging families within their community.
