  Jewish Community Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The YMHA (Young Men's Hebrew Association) was first set up in 1854 in Baltimore to provide help for Jewish immigrants.
A YWHA (Young Women's Hebrew Association) was first established as an annex to the YMHA in New York in 1888.
San Francisco’s Young Men’s Hebrew Association (YMHA) was formed in 1877, and the city’s Young Women’s Hebrew Association (YWHA) was formed in 1914.

 Supreme Court of Canada - Decisions - Ymha jewish community centre of winnipeg inc. v. Brown
The Agreement designated the YMHA as "employer" and provided that the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission would continue to pay the unemployment insurance benefits of the "employees" while the "employer" would be responsible for topping up this amount in accordance with the rates set up in the Agreement.
From the fall of 1984 to the spring of 1985, the YMHA undertook to renovate its premises.
Because it is not an agreement between the YMHA and the appellants, it cannot alone be determinative of the existence of a relationship between those parties.

Following brief remarks by officials from YMHA and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which funded the $7 million effort, Eugenia Atkinson, YMHA executive director, led the ribbon cutting in the lobby of the former hotel built in 1913.
Speakers, including YMHA's director of development, Mark Straub, saluted Chris Collins, the project manager, for overseeing the work while the headquarters staff and residents were in Amedia Plaza, a situation that challenged staff, residents and workmen, all acknowledged.
YMHA, established in 1933 and which today manages 1,543 housing units in the city, received the go-ahead from HUD to proceed with the $7 million effort nearly seven years ago, Atkinson says.

 YMHA Breaks Ground for Homes at Arlington Heights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
YMHA received $19.75 million from the federal Hope VI program in 2002, its fourth application for funding to demolish distressed public housing and replace it with new structures.
Alice Freeman, president of the Westlake Terrace resident council, recalled that when YMHA first sought the Hope VI funds, all the residents of the old housing projects knew was that they were being asked to relocate, give up their apartments, their community center and other things.
It gives people a chance to change their whole quality of life," Fabio said, adding that he hopes that the program, which has been "under threat," will be continued by the federal government.

In years past, YMHA grants, which come from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, were used for a YMHA pat-rol, a handful of city officers who worked only on YMHA properties.
Bush said the 2005 YMHA grant, which should have been in effect this month, is being held back until June, when the YMHA situation will be reviewed.

Originally established in the South End, the YMHA moved to Seaver Street in 1911.
In his 1999 book "Urban Exodus: Why the Jews Left Boston and the Catholics Stayed," Gerald Gamm relates that early in 1960, the YMHA sold its building on Seaver Street to a Seventh-day Adventist congregation for $50,000 and merged with the Hecht House (located in Dorchester on the other side of Franklin Park).
In the summer of 1970, the YMHA-Hecht House property was sold to the Lena Park Housing Development Corporation, of which the Rev. Shawn G. Sheehan, pastor of St. Leo's Parish, was founder and chairman.
