Housing Continuum for Survivors

YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley offers a comprehensive housing continuum for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking in Santa Clara County. From emergency shelter to permanent, affordable housing, our full continuum of housing and supportive services allows us to meet the unique needs of survivors and their families.

Our housing continuum is designed to empower a survivor on their healing journey by delivering some or all of our continuum programs, including connection to additional YWCA resources such as therapy, legal services, childcare and/or employability support.

We believe safe, affordable housing is the foundation for healing, empowerment and success.

OUR HOUSING CONTINUUM

Homelessness Prevention System

Temporary rental assistance and supportive services to those who are fleeing violence and at risk of homelessness.

Emergency Housing

Temporary emergency shelter for those fleeing violence.

Interim Housing

Temporary, affordable housing and supportive services for survivors who are working towards obtaining permanent housing.

Rapid Rehousing

Immediate assistance to secure permanent housing for survivors, including time-limited rental assistance and supportive services to maintain long-term housing.

Permanent Supportive Housing

Low-barrier affordable housing for chronically homeless survivors along with provision of supportive services.

Housing First

We use a Housing First approach that focuses on getting survivors into stable housing as quickly as possible, then we work to provide the necessary support to help survivors as they rebuild their lives. A Housing First approach allows our support to be flexible and responsive. Housing Case Managers support survivors to develop personal and financial goals and create a plan to maintain housing after services end. Housing Case Managers provide case management, safety planning, housing search support, and connection to community resources.

Through advocacy and empowerment services, prevention and systems change, we help survivors minimize the traumatic aftermath of intimate partner violence, sexual assault and human trafficking by promoting accessibility, safety and choice. We supports and their families who are unhoused or at risk of homelessness and facing economic instability.
