How You Can Help
YWCA Housing Action Fund
The YWCA Housing Action Fund aims to raise $5 million to accelerate the development of new affordable housing for women and their children. With your support, the dream of a safe home will become a reality for these families.
Housing is a basic human right. Yet every day in BC, 200 women fleeing violence are turned away from shelters and transition houses because there isn’t enough space for them. These women need safe, permanent housing.
Single mother-led households are almost twice as likely to be inadequately housed (36% compared to 20% of all households).
Stable housing is essential for women-led families to leave violence, pursue education and employment and have the stability to build the lives they envision for themselves and their children.
Right now, there are over 1,000 families on YWCA’s housing waitlist.
YOU CAN HELP.
Your donation to the YWCA Housing Action Fund can be a powerful catalyst, accelerating meaningful change and addressing the critical shortage of affordable homes for women-led families and individuals in need.
