The nonprofit helps single moms bring their children to better neighborhoods.
Steve Wartenberg
The phone call from Move to Prosper couldn’t have come at a better time for Bessie Jackson and her two sons, Braylon, 12, and Derius, 8. “We were technically homeless,” Jackson says. Her grandmother’s old, drafty, money pit of a home on the East Side where she and her boys were living had caught fire four days earlier and was uninhabitable. Jackson, a home health care worker, had lost her job.
“We were living in a hotel,” she says.
It was 2018, and Jackson had been accepted into the three-year pilot of Move to Prosper, a collaboration between Ohio State University’s city and regional planning program and community organizations. The guiding principle is that single mothers and their children do better in higher-opportunity, safer neighborhoods with better school systems. The problem: These neighborhoods are expensive and beyond the means of most low-wage earners.

great, but work still remains
Kudos to Columbus City Council member Shayla Favor and her peers for passing a ban on sources of income discrimination during the pandemic as a tool to promote additional housing options.
Now the hard work begins. In order for the legislation to succeed, the Columbus business community needs to team up with government and civil rights organizations to support fair housing education training for landlords and tenants. Marketing assistance needs to be provided to promote the goals and intent of this ordinance.
With success, the citizens of Columbus and Central Ohio will benefit from increased opportunities for economic integration, enhanced employment, additional educational choices and safe and stable housing.
