On a Mission to Move “One Million Moms OFF Welfare” Matthew Knowles, Ph.D Joins the Effort with Founder of Can I Live, Inc. RW Jones at Upcoming Event

“Moms Don’t Want Welfare—They Want WEALTHFAIR” is the mantra of the public housing
tenant led non-profit. The “One Million Moms OFF Welfare” is an initiative run and operated
by former and/or current mothers who receive some kind of public benefit. Mothers from across
the nation are signing up to the cause, as they are fed up with the punitive rules and entitlement
programs provided to millions of families living at or below poverty, which is structured in a way
that keeps them trapped in a cycle of dependence.

Take a closer look at how Can I Live, Inc. Founder and President RW Jones is stepping up in
support of change across the nation and the upcoming FREE Virtual Webinar, open to the
public, featuring Mathew Knowles, Ph.D.!

Inalienable Rights for All

RW Jones, also known as “The Welfare Escape Artist, teaches low-income families how to
protect and grow their income, while receiving various social services benefits (i.e., Subsidized
Housing, SNAP, Medicaid, etc.). Jones spearheads the organization’s program development
and is closing the gaps in poverty and raising the bar for social services programs. Jones’
mission extends with all resources possible and available to achieve realistic change for each
family.

“Our mission is to advance affordable housing, economic inclusion, and personal
responsibility through advocacy, community and civic engagement, and education. We
believe that all Americans are created equal and possessed of inalienable rights to life,
liberty, the pursuit of happiness and to justice under the law.” – Jones

CIL believes that all Americans are created equal and possess the inalienable rights to life,
liberty, the pursuit of happiness—and justice under the law.

“The ultimate mission is to provide a proven, repeatable blueprint to breaking free from
government dependency in order to start building a sustainable lifestyle of freedom and independence.” – Jones

If not stopped, this vicious cycle of poverty will continue for generations to come. Criminal
activity induced by poverty will rise, mental health depression will increase, and toxic and
strained relationships will remain stagnant—which means teenage pregnancy, single-parent
households, fatherless homes, juvenile delinquency, mass incarceration, and more. 

Catch 22 of Welfare Dependency

Mothers are oftentimes stuck in an endless cycle of welfare dependency because of the
construct of the program itself. If a mother decides to quit her job, stay home and remain
unemployed, she will then receive FREE housing, healthcare benefits, food, formula for her
babies, and in most cases, cash assistance. However, if she pokes her head out to chart her
course of independence, she and her children are forced to walk the plank alone with no
support.

When a mom returns to the workforce, she is immediately penalized
with evidence of her completely losing her healthcare (Medicare) benefits,
being reduced in her food stamps (SNAP) benefits and her experiencing drastic increases in rent and other programs such as child care.

What’s more—the practice of separating fathers from their families in exchange for various
welfare benefits (i.e., public housing subsidies, etc.) is something that dates back to the 1930’s,
and in many cases, are still practiced today. For example, in the state of Virginia, a mother
cannot receive child care subsidies unless they place the father on child support–-regardless if
the father is in the picture providing support for the child/children.

FREE Virtual Webinar, Featuring Mathew Knowles, Ph.D.

Hosted in Partnership with Bay Atlantic University (BAU), CIL’s Education Partner grants
conditional acceptance for students who complete CIL’s certificate programs! The goal of the
FREE virtual webinar series is to promote powerful stories of influential people that inspire and
equip low-income families with the tools they need to remove barriers impeding their progress
as well as encourage the business community to step-up in meaningful ways to help businesses
and families grow.

Mathew Knowles, Ph.D. joins the nonprofit in their goal to move “One Million Moms OFF
Welfare.” On July 8 th , at 12pm EST, he will be featured as one of the first guests in
the non-profit “Lunch and Lessons Learned” series to help bolster support for their
cause and attract employers who will partner with their programs.

Jones and her team of moms have embarked on a nationwide tour, The WEALTHFair Tour,
starting in the nation’s capital, to offer both a message of hope and inspiration to families as well
as a road map with a blueprint toward financial freedom and independence—free from welfare
entitlements, dependency and mental deterioration. She has uncovered the loopholes to help
families navigate the system in a way that protects their risk for economic failure.
Jones is raising the bar in how families are served, engaged and enrolled into niche programs.

Federal Opportunities

The WEALTHFAIR Tour is a “National Scavenger Hunt” to locate the $18.9 billion in federal
opportunities for low-income people through HUD’s Section 3 program. Over the course of this
three-year WEALTHFAIR Tour, they will visit the poorest public housing communities in 300 of
America’s most prosperous cities. Ultimately, the Tour centers on Reigniting Family Self-
Sufficiency (FSS) Programs, Establishing & Re-establishing New Resident Councils and
Advocating for Policy Change. 

“If we can put a man on the moon, certainly we can eliminate poverty!” – RW Jones
Powered by RADAR, the engine behind the tour aims to strengthen and equip resident councils
with the necessary skills required to represent the interest of their respective communities. The
RADAR Program encompasses the understanding of HUD regulations, and how they apply to
help community leaders access grant funding, fundraise, conduct effective meetings, resolve
conflicts as well as negotiate an equity stake in their upcoming redevelopment deals. With
current federal housing being privatized, and low-income residents being displaced by large
numbers, this initiative is more than timely.
