The YWCA Family Center is an emergency crisis homeless shelter for our community’s most vulnerable population. It is designed to cultivate success for the families we serve through: compassion, dignity, respect, empowerment, education, and structure.
We are committed to providing a Trauma informed, holistic approach to the Housing First Model. We accomplish this through our on-site supportive services. Supportive Services include: Family Advocates, Family Support, ODJFS benefits, Safe & Sound Childcare, Convenient Care, and other on-site opportunities. These services are critical when engaging this susceptible population.
Our staff excels in the ability to deliver strong customer based services by exemplifying excellence through modeling specific behaviors. Our staff possess the ability to be: self-motivated, goal-oriented, solution-focused, trauma-informed, compassionate, and strong communication skills.
The Women’s Residency program gives staff the opportunity to help women get their lives back on track. The staff provide groups that offer life skills, budgeting, yoga, and self-help. This position is very rewarding and staff feel that they are “giving back” to their community. Building long term relationships is the core of staff’s beliefs and they take great pride in helping residents restore their mental and physical health. Being a part of this historic organization help staff realize the importance of providing services to women in need.
About Our Programs
In 2005, YWCA Columbus responded to a community call to take over emergency shelter and services for families without homes. Many are working poor and unable to meet high housing costs; many are women raising children alone. The 50-room YWCA Family Center offers these families safety and support, a place where they can get three healthy meals a day, and a warm, secure place to sleep. With their basic needs provided, parents can concentrate on moving forward, using the job-and-housing-search resources, transportation services and the five-star Step Up To Quality rated Safe & Sound child care program.
YWCA Columbus’ Women’s Residency Program is a permanent housing program that provides long-term housing and supportive services for nearly 100 women. Many are recovering from addiction, facing battles with job loss or low incomes, or managing disabilities and other obstacles. Our approach at Women’s Residency is person-centered and tailored to individual needs. By providing our residents with the resources they need to get back on their feet and move forward with their next steps, we are building a stronger Columbus community.
