Empowering Women
In the YWCA transitional housing program, we empower women to move toward greater economic stability and development. Employed women live in safe, low-cost transitional housing.
Most importantly, women can stay up to two years. This provides time for women to catch their breath. Then, they can focus on working toward their goals.
Residents are also connected to resources and support services that will help move them towards greater financial and personal stability.
Strategies include:
- Developing stability plans based on a personal inventory and support needs
- Setting financial and housing goals
- Engaging in financial literacy training
- Understanding renter expectation
- Developing a resource directory

Are you homeless or at risk of becoming homeless? Please call Stark County’s Homeless Hotline at 330-452-4363. They can help.

First impressions matter! Within the first minute or two, interviewers decide if an applicant will fit their company’s culture.

At the YWCA, we know that women are willing to work hard to provide for themselves and families. Sometimes though, small barriers prevent a woman from earning a paycheck. We have resources that might be able to help.
Give us a call at 330-823-1840, Monday – Thursday 9:00AM-5:00PM to set-up an appointment.
These programs are made possible in part with the United Way of Greater Stark County, The Community Development Block Grant through the City of Alliance
