The YWCA Niagara Region’s West Niagara Affordable Housing (WNAH) program provides transitional supportive housing to individuals or families within West Niagara. The goal of the YW’s WNAH program is to lead individuals to self-sufficiency within three years.
Our goal is to provide temporary relief through housing allowances for persons who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Through their transition, participants work with skilled staff to set goals that will lead to more independence. YWCA WNAH also provides residents with skills development training, support, goal setting, advocacy, and referrals to other programs and services that might be of benefit, such as employment supports, counseling, and legal aid. Those in residence have the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

Are You a Landlord?
The YW’s WNAH program maintains a waiting list of clients in need of affordable housing. We are looking for landlords who are willing to work with us to provide rental housing for these individuals and families.
