Housing Program for Survivors
YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley offers trauma-informed housing services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking in Santa Clara County. Through emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, and rapid rehousing, our housing and supportive services allow us to meet the unique needs of survivors and their families.
Our housing programs are designed to empower a survivor on their healing journey and connect them 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
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.
