Bridges
YWCA’s Longer Term Housing for Survivors
Bridges, YWCA’s longer term housing program, enables survivors to secure the economic resources and longer-term supports to achieve stable and sustainable futures.
Bridges deepens YWCA’s impact, by helping even more women and children move beyond surviving – to thriving! Bridges provides residents with:
- Trauma-informed counseling for survivors
- Workforce training and employment assistance
- Permanent housing support
- Financial education and legal assistance
- Early-intervention and trauma-informed therapies for children
- Health care referrals
Bridges residents live in a 15-unit apartment building, with one and two bedroom apartments which can accommodate up to 52 women and children.
