| Statewide Interest: |
| Over 70% of households inside Tallahassee's urban communities are headed by single parents. Affirming this reality is the fact that every elementary shcool within the urban core has over 90% of its students receiving free or reduced lunch which is factored by the Federal Poverty Index. The Bond Women's Health Center will serve as a health care haven for the women inside the urban core area that are uninsured, underserved, and low income single parents. |
