Our emergency safe shelter is made up of individual apartment units where each family can heal in beautiful, welcoming spaces that offer privacy within our secure facility. With private kitchens and bathrooms in each unit, there is space for parents and their children to heal and thrive. All survivors are welcome regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, religion or sexual orientation.
PETS ARE FAMILY TOO
YWCA is the only shelter in Pierce County, and one of very few across the country, that allows families to bring their pets to shelter with them. We help families meet all the needs of their furry family members including: food, veterinarian care, grooming and pet deposits for families as they move into new homes, and more.
Between 25% and 45% of domestic violence victims don’t leave their abusers out of fear for their pet’s lives
