Ma & Pa focuses on providing shelter and mental health support for young parents aged 14 to 21, including those who are single, coupled, pregnant, or parenting, while addressing trauma and homelessness. The program aims to enhance independence through financial and social skills development, while recognizing and assessing community needs. Challenges faced by clients, particularly single mothers, include difficulties in securing employment, access to childcare, and maintaining stable housing, all of which are crucial to improving their lives and the well-being of their children.
