New National Report

Access to safe and affordable housing remains one of the greatest barriers for women fleeing violence. The housing crisis in our community has made it increasingly difficult for survivors to transition from emergency shelter to stable housing.

Sheltering Under Pressure

WSC’s newest national report presents updated evidence on how shelters are operating under sustained strain due to chronic underfunding, aging infrastructure, workforce pressures, and the ongoing affordable housing crisis. 

We don’t want to just survive; we want to thrive and support women and their families to thrive as well. This takes investment, innovation, and the proper resources. Multi-year funding is a must to allow us some breathing room and an opportunity to innovate.
