	Housing & Shelter
		The YWCA is one of the largest providers of emergency shelter and housing for homeless women and families in our region—providing 10,278 women and their families each year with ongoing housing and critical support services.
		But the YWCA believes that we can create a community where all women and children have a safe place to live.
		In addition to helping prevent families from becoming homeless, the YWCA also provides programs to meet the special needs of homeless families, including services for domestic violence victims, access to affordable health care and respite care for homeless women recovering from serious illness.

	Japanese-Americans at the Portland YWCA in the Forties: Assimilation . . . , Evacuation . . . , Integration?
		Japanese-Americans at the Portland YWCA in the Forties: Assimilation.
		With bell hooks’ wise words in mind, I question whether the pivotal issue preventing the YWCA leadership from fulfilling their end of the bargain in maintaining the community, was a failure to recognize that what the community members needed was not support, but solidarity.
		The decision to assign advisors to Japanese-American groups at the YWCA appears to be inconsistent with the 1941 report to the National indicating that Japanese-Americans approached the secretary seeking a white advisor.

	JS Online: Lining up to pick over remains of YWCA
		More than 1,300 notices to YWCA members and participants were mailed, explaining to the recipients that they "are welcome to a refund of the fees paid or you can choose to consider these dollars as a tax-deductible donation for use in settling final expenses related to the staff."
		Waukesha County Circuit Judge J. Mac Davis drew the YWCA case, and one of his first tasks is to distribute the funds from the YWCA's only known liquid assets, two bank accounts.
		"YWCA has performed a diligent search of its books and records and it has not been able to determine how the bank account was established, what donations constitute the principal, nor which donor(s) donated the funds that comprise the bank account," O'Brien said in an affidavit submitted to Davis.

		The YWCA is perhaps less known to the general public for its numerous social reform programs, ranging over the years from classes for urban immigrants and workers to a more recent emphasis on the prevention of domestic violence.
		The YWCA staff's healthy sense of the organization's historical significance is reflected in how carefully it preserved its documentary record.
		Later, Norris, Eleanor Coit (Smith '16), and Grierson engaged in "fancy footwork" to assure that a portion of the records the YWCA began to microfilm in 1964 were preserved in the SSC rather than destroyed as had been the original intent.
