Since 1981, ACHIEVEability has been working to end poverty by helping single parent, low-income families, many formerly homeless, to achieve self-sufficiency. 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 geared to helping our clients succeed and reach the goals they set for themselves and their families through our Family Self-Sufficiency Program.
We encourage all of our clients to work at least 30 hours per week and to accrue at least
15 credits per year towards a post-secondary degree or equivalent. ACHIEVEability is a
difficult program, but the nineteen clients who celebrated their graduation in 2008 can
tell you it's worth it.
