Housing assistance and residential programs

At YWCA Central Indiana, we provide housing support and essential services to help women and children build a path toward stability.

Housing admissions take place Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you need support outside of these hours, call Indiana 211 to connect with a navigator for local resources.

Residential programs include:

• C.O.T.S. Stay Program – A complimentary overnight shelter from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., offering a safe sleeping option, showers, hygiene products, food, and clothing.

• Emergency Shelter – A 45-day program with wraparound services for women and children in crisis.

• Second Stage Housing – Long-term housing for eligible women and women with children who need additional support.

• Permanent Housing Support & Advocacy – Helping individuals secure stable, long-term housing.

• Each month, YWCA Central Indiana offers programs to help emergency shelter residents with financial literacy, housing education, to***co awareness, diabetes education, and professional development, including resume building and interview skills.

If you or someone you know needs safe housing and support, YWCA Central Indiana is here to help. Call during business hours for assistance, or dial 211 for after-hours support.
