  • In December 2023, a property adjacent to our offices was listed with the potential for numerous rentable units. Our generous supporters acquired the property and are leasing the property to us with the option to buy. Your donation will move us closer to our dream of purchasing the property and securing seven residential housing units to be used for generations.

  • Help us transform spaces into homes for those in need! The YWCA aims to raise $400K for property and essential renovations. Here's a snapshot:

    ·2 cozy two-bedroom units: Minor touch-ups needed.

    ·A spacious three-bedroom house: Major overhaul needed.

    ·Three units under one roof, needing TLC: From studio simplicity to one-bedroom comfort, we're revamping with care.
