For a single parent in Middle Tennessee, a raise as small as 35 cents an hour can feel more like a punishment than a promotion. Many low-income families who rely on public benefits food assistance, healthcare coverage, childcare subsidies, and housing vouchers risk losing the very supports that help cover their everyday living expenses the moment their earnings rise. This is known as the “benefits cliff”.
