The YWCA Union County is on a 100 year old mission to empower survivors of domestic violence to become safe and free from abuse, and to promote social justice and eliminate violence against women and girls. We accomplish this mission through the provision of comprehensive, client-centered services, and through education, collaboration and advocacy that builds safe, informed and supportive communities.

The City of Newark, Office of Homeless Services and The Newark Hope Village 
The Office of Homeless Services works collaboratively with stakeholders to promote the safety, well-being and self-sufficiency of homeless persons – through strengthening the homeless service delivery system, with the ultimate goal of ending homelessness.  

Their new initiative, the Newark Hope Village is the City of Newark’s emergency response to a global pandemic, frigid temperatures and an increasing chronically homeless population. The Newark Hope Village is a low barrier shelter community built from repurposed shipping containers and transformed into a therapeutic service oriented community. Through this project, we are seeking to accommodate the city’s most vulnerable homeless single men and women. Services will include: case management and connections to housing; detox and behavioral health referrals; food; laundry; and employment supports. The goal of this project is to provide a safe, warm and comfortable environment, while offering continued housing assistance.
