This year's winner is Supportive Housing for Young Mothers (SHYM). This organization helps young mothers and their children develop the skills they need to build strong families in a safe, stable and nurturing environment. SHYM enables young mothers learn about and focus on parenting. Young mothers are offered group programming aimed at health promotion, independent living/household management skills, parenting skills, and building knowledge in the areas of child development, domestic abuse, healthy relationships, self-advocacy, poverty, and racism. Support, education, referrals, and advocacy are provided to assist young mothers in returning to school and/or work and pursuing their goals.
