What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Domestic Violence Programs
1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men experience domestic violence in their lifetime. Fulfilling the complex and often life-threatening needs facing survivors in the community, the Becky’s House® Domestic Violence Programs encompass a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter, transitional housing, legal support, and integrated services.
The Vi McKinney Becky’s House Shelter, a short-term emergency shelter, offers services to women, men, and children in need of immediate protection from their abusers in a secure, confidential facility.
Becky’s House Transitional Housing provides safe housing and supportive services for individuals and families in multiple apartment communities. In the longer-term program, clients focus on overcoming trauma, developing life skills, improving employment, increasing income, and obtaining permanent housing.
Additionally, staff attorneys and professional advocates provide low-income domestic violence survivors with free legal services on family law matters, including assistance with restraining orders, divorce, child custody, child and spousal support, and limited attorney representation.
If you or someone you know needs help, call our 24-hour crisis and information hotline at 619.234.3164.
Homelessness Programs
More than 9,100 individuals face homelessness in San Diego County on any given night and 62 percent go without shelter of any kind. In response to the critical community need, YWCA serves this vulnerable population through interim, transitional, and permanent housing, along with supportive services.
Cortez Hill Family Center provides interim housing and family services, up to 90 days, for low-income parents with children. Clients focus on securing permanent housing while stabilizing their family unit and leveraging resources.
Rapid Re-Housing Program offers rental assistance, case management, and housing services that allows clients to quickly regain and maintain permanent housing.
