🧡Department Highlight:
🏠Our Housing Team is out in the community, conducting home inspections and making sure our participants have safe, stable places to call home.

Over the past five months, we’ve helped 13 women who were residents of First House and Legacy House secure permanent housing, while also supporting dozens of individuals through our 1115 Waiver Program.

The YWCA Jamestown Housing Team is committed to meeting each person where they are and providing support with compassion, dignity, and the highest standard of care. We’re proud of the work our team continues to do in our community!
