Happy Mother's Day from WJW

Celebrating the important role of mothers

We'd like to take a moment to celebrate the moms of WJW. We have several staff members with young children, and many others who are aunts, godmothers, sisters, and mentors to the young people in their lives. We appreciate all that you do!

Supporting mothers and families shows through in some of our project work as well. One example is Hope Manor II, a multifamily housing development in Englewood that was specifically focused on creating homes for female Veteran head of households and their families. There is a thriving community at Hope Manor II now, including a now-famous Girl Scout troop. Another is Andy's Place II in Jackson, Michigan, which was created to provide supportive housing for women recovering from opiod addiction, providing a safe and stable home for them and their families.

Happy Mother's Day!
