Announcing our "in-kind" Charity Recipient

2020 -2021

Norma Herr Women's Center

Over 300 women have exited shelter and achieved housing stability since YWCA assumed management of Norma Herr Women’s Center in 2019 and are engaged and thriving members of our community

Each woman at Norma Herr Women’s Center has their own unique aspirations. Guests may be working towards gainful employment, stabilizing their health, or achieving higher levels of education. That is why women at Norma Herr work with YWCA staff to develop non- prescriptive, highly personalized, sustainable housing plans that meet their own goals and fit their individual needs.
