EMERGENCY HOMELESS SHELTERS

The YWCA provides two types of emergency homeless shelters:

Emergency Homeless Shelters For Women

YWCA Niagara Region offers emergency housing for women and their children in a safe and home-like environment. We provide a private bedroom, shared common space and three healthy meals that offer nourishment and warmth.

We operate two, 20-bed emergency homeless shelters: 183 King Street, St. Catharines and 6135 Culp Street, Niagara Falls. Both locations are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Any woman 16 years of age or older requiring shelter and support is welcome. Women’s Advocates are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist guests in setting goals and accessing community resources in their search for stable housing as they continue on their path to independence.

Emergency Homeless Family Shelter

The YWCA Niagara Region operates emergency homeless shelter units for two-parent families and single-parent families. These units are all 3-bedroom units, which allow families the privacy they need in their time of crisis.

Advocates visit each family once a day and assist in finding permanent housing, and accessing community resources. Advocates also liaise with other agencies on behalf of the family and lend a caring ear in times of need.
