The Independent Parent, Inc. (TIP, Inc.) is a 501(c)3 agency founded in March 2019, whose primary mission is to stabilize single parent households holistically by providing moral support, temporary housing when suffering a setback,  and basic-needs assistance as needed.

Through this mission, our goal is to alleviate the common stressors that come with single parenting and empower parents to recover and stabilize by ending dysfunctional patterns of parenting. 

 Mission-Vision-Values


We envision fostering a community of well-balanced single parent households where both parents and their children are provided with a strong network of personal guidance and resources individualized to meet their needs so as to end silent suffering.

Parental & Youth Development

TIP Inc is fully aware that the family setting plays a vital role in the development of children and youth. Studies of juvenile delinquency have shown that the family environment can present as either a risk or protective factor.

According to statistics, children of single-parent households are at an increased risk of dropping out of high school and have a higher likelihood of being poor, committing crimes, becoming teenaged parents, or using drugs.

TIP Inc seeks to change the narrative, defy the odds, and empower single-parent households to stabilize and thrive.
