Equitable housingthrough its housing programs, the YWCA greater pittsburgh provides homeless and low-income women and families with safe, affordable places to live and the supportive services that will help them move toward self-sufficiency and more permanent housing. The bridge housing and rapid rehousing programs are transitional programs, respectively, that together serve adult women and families. Both programs serve homeless women; our scattered sites - apartments and homes around allegheny county - allow women to live independently while working or finding employment, attending school, taking care of their families, developing life skills, participating in mental health and/or drug and alcohol treatment, or pursuing whatever other goals they have chosen for themselves. Additionally, through a partnership with the urban redevelopment authority, the YWCA has began a new program to provide grants to individuals struggling financially to cover rental payments to prevent eviction.
