Transitional Housing

The YWCA Central Massachusetts has a history of activism in housing, providing for a woman's need for physical security and a safe, clean, affordable, and respectable place to live. In the late 1880s, the YWCA Central Massachusetts provided "homes" and "room registries" for single women from the countryside who were streaming into the cities seeking employment in the new industrial factories. In 1892, the YWCA built the first integrated housing residence for women on Chatham Street.

Women in need of short-term housing have access to safe, affordable dormitory style living quarters at the YWCA at One Salem Square for a few weeks or up to several months. For a modest program fee, each resident has a private room with essential furnishings and access to a community kitchen and living area.
