For 10 years, Single Family Living has strived to focus on combating youth illiteracy from
single families throughout the Metro-Detroit communities. Just like the needs of the
communities and schools we service expanded, so has our mission to help the youths. Our
mission is to empower, mentor, and inspire children from single parent families. SFL's 4-tier

Single Family Living (SFL) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in the year
2013 in Michigan by a single parent, Jeri Hunley (Founder). SFL is devoted to helping
the youth from single parent homes; learning the importance of education, positive
mentorship, and STEM courses by providing parenting workshops for single parents &
youth in grades K-12. We have hosted over 8500 events and impacted thousands of
youth with books, clothes, tutoring, menstrual products, housing, and food throughout
the Detroit Metro area. During the pandemic we shared our expertise and collaborated
with organizations throughout the nation to create strategies to support single parents in
crisis. Single Family Living is committed to serving those who need it most: children in
under-resourced communities who do not have access to quality education, due to
economic and/or social barriers. We earned several awards in educational services,
including the Detroit Spirit Award. Our vision is to reduce the education gap that stalks
our children living in poverty-stricken single-parent homes.
