The National Association of
Social Workers funded studies in
16 other states. South Carolina
was chosen because it has one of
the highest percentage of children
of sinolf mntherc livino in
poverty.
Conway designed the survey,
which social workers gave to 36
single mothers and 36 state agencies
to find out what the single
mother's needs, weaknesses and
strengths were. The study also

"Plus, the cost of the repairs

"Single parents need a place in

"When unmarried people see
