Since 1981, ACHIEVEability has been working to end poverty by supporting and challenging low-income and formerly homeless single-parent families in their pursuit of higher education. We believe that housing is a necessary first step to ending poverty, and we develop our own program housing to help stabilize families. But we know that in order to truly achieve permanent self-sufficiency and financial freedom, education is the key. Everything we do at ACHIEVEability is to help our clients succeed and reach the goals they set for themselves and their families.
We support our clients with affordable housing and comprehensive support. In return, we require that all clients in the program work at least 25 hours per week and take at least 15 credits per year towards a post-secondary degree or vocational program. ACHIEVEability is a difficult program, but the fifteen clients celebrating their graduation this year can tell you it's worth it.
