The YWCA Newton Residency for Women is a clean and safe environment, providing case management and other support services to assist residents in becoming self-sufficient, which can lead to permanent housing. The Newton Residency offers residents an opportunity to develop at comfortable paces, develop skills for coping with life stresses, solving everyday problems and accessing resources in the community with staff support. The Newton Residency program is designed to bridge the gap from shelter to permanent housing for women. It offers a stable, healthy environment that is conducive to growth and development. The Newton Residency is unique because it offers women the means to independent transitional living. The maximum length of stay is 18 months.
