We serve the needs of women through the Women's Residence Program, which provides supportive transitional and permanent housing for single women and mothers, including survivors of domestic violence. We also support Syracuse youth ages 5-18 through two youth leadership and development offerings: Girls Inc. at YWCA is affiliated with Girls Incorporated, a national nonprofit dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. We provide research-based, informal education programs that promote social emotional learning, provide mentorship, and encourage girls to master physical, intellectual, and emotional challenges.

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Congress must urge the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to expedite the release of all congressionally approved Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) and Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) funding.

These delays are putting survivor services at risk—forcing programs to consider staff cuts, reduced services, and even closures. Survivors can’t wait.

Repost this message and reach out to your members of Congress today by calling the U.S. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121.
