The YWCA of WNY offers transitional housing to homeless women and their children. The YWCA of WNY has apartments located in Amherst and in Buffalo, including apartments reserved for women who are victims of domestic violence. The program provides women with opportunities to build healthy support systems, enjoy safe, affordable housing, and work toward economic self-sufficiency. Their program offers one-on-one case management as well as workshops to assist all clients in achieving their goals.  In addition to the workshops, residents meet regularly at tenant meetings to make suggestions.  Group discussions are also held on a monthly basis with topics ranging from parenting to jewelry making.
