3 Year - Logic Model for The Restoration House of East Tennessee
“Helping to restore single mothers and their children back to God’s good intent for their lives”
What needs does the program address?
Community Need
BROKENESS
 We all experience broken relationships with
God, self, others, and creation
LOW-INCOME
 7.3% of Knoxville households are single
mothers
 50% of those households with children under
the age of 18 are below the poverty line
HOUSING
 82% of households living in Knoxville’s
subsidized housing are single mothers
 79% of single mothers cannot afford modest
priced homes in the area
 There is a lack of transitional housing units for
families
SERVICE GAPS
 The majority of transitional housing is for only
3 to 6 months
 Low-income single mother families often lack
the relational support systems needed to
achieve long term goals
 The majority of existing case management is
limited in scope and focuses on needs instead
of capitalizing on assets
