Addressing this need is the YWCA Barbara M. Wick Transitional Housing Program, in which the YWCA provides transitional housing for up to one year for women and families who are homeless due to life circumstance.

The YWCA has multiple properties serving more than 25 households at a time with a waiting list just as long.
