Putman Family YWCA
The Putman Family YWCA is Hamilton’s first affordable permanent housing residence for single and mother-led families. Our fifty units have been created to support three priority populations, which include women living with a developmental disability, Indigenous women and families and women and their children rebuilding their lives after experiences of homelessness and violence. Trauma informed support and housing stability support and programming is offered through our Housing Support Worker.
The Putman Family YWCA also offers spaces designed for community gathering, as well as a Centre of Innovation, community garden, flexible space for seniors and youth, recreational, health and wellness programming and women and community led programming and workshops.
Help us finish the new Putman Family YWCA!
In addition to providing safe, permanent housing, the new Putman Family YWCA is a social and economic hub, contributing to the revitalization of the Crown Point community.
Our new YWCA is a model for affordable housing, as well as social and community infrastructure, that can be replicated across Ontario to address the severe housing crisis faced by women.
Our goal is to raise $5 million to finish building the Putman Family YWCA.
