Emergency Shelters

YWCA Niagara Region offers temporary emergency housing for women and their children in a safe and home-like environment.

We operate two, 20-bed Emergency Housing Residences: 183 King Street, St. Catharines and 6135 Culp Street, Niagara Falls. Both locations are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Women can become homeless for a variety of reasons. Whatever the reason, the WYCA turns no one away. Any woman 16 years of age or older requiring shelter and support are welcome. Women's advocates assist guests in setting goals and accessing community resources in their search for stable housing as they continue on their path to independence.
