Single mothers belonging to the disadvantage economic class are constantly at risk of becoming homeless. Since a significant number of these women do not have a college education they can find it difficult to find jobs that can provide family sized wages.   A single mother who is likely to become homeless exposes her children to the risk of being neglected and abused. Studies have shown that children of single mothers belonging to the disadvantaged economic class tend to have behavioral problems and are at risk to end up in prison. Adequate training can help single mothers break the cycle of poverty and make the young family independent. This can have long term benefits for the family, as it has also been studied that a woman’s education level and the emphasis that she places on education of her children play a much more important role on her children than her marital status.
