TY to the YWCA
Thank you to our member, YWCA of Seattle, King, Snohomish. In benefitting from the Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, YWCA has extended its support to HDC in the effort of ensuring that women and families from across the region have safe, healthy, and affordable homes.
YWCA project, Opportunity Place, is unique to the qualifying developments in that it already serves hundreds of folks in the downtown area. The YWCA’s Opportunity Place opened in 2003 and offers a variety of programs that include Health Access and Economic Empowerment. Programs include Veterans Employment, WorkFirst for TANF Parents, Healthcare Access, Title V Employment, and permanent affordable housing among many others.
YWCA Opportunity Place provides comprehensive solutions to the issues of homelessness and poverty. Angeline’s Day Center for Women, a day shelter for women experiencing homelessness is located on site. Located on the second floor, the WorkSource center offers computer access, classes and training, and case management designed to help homeless individuals improve their chances for employment. The top five floors include 145 studio and 1-bedroom apartments. The modern, comfortable units include fully equipped kitchens, private bathrooms and windows, most with exterior views.
Thank you, YWCA, for continuing to give back to the greater housing sector.
