About YWCA Niagara Region

Why should people care? Because without the YW, countless women, children, and families in our community would face unimaginable uncertainty. Your support ensures they have a home, access to critical supports, and a safe place to stay connected to their community. Many of these families, often single moms, struggle to bridge the gap to afford market rent. Without us, where would they go? Your participation in CNOY is more than just a walk; it's a step towards changing lives and keeping hope alive. Let's show our community that with the YW, no one is left behind.

The YWCA Niagara Region is one of the largest providers of emergency shelter and transitional housing throughout the Niagara region. The YW touches the lives of over 1,400 people in need every single year.

YWCA Niagara Region’s transitional housing programs throughout West Niagara, providing affordable housing solutions to people who have become homeless or who are at risk of homelessness. The YW supports individuals in West Niagara by providing them with an affordable housing unit for up to three years. During that time, they are supported by a social worker, who helps them reach their goals and work their way towards financial stability.

Throughout the program over the last 10 years, we’ve been able to ensure more than 200 people have had a home during some of the worst times in their lives. Last year we helped ensure 34 people had a home. It means a mom and her children have a place to call home, have access to supports, and will be able to stay in their home community.
