My children attend the child care here and Ms kaleena is coming off very racist. She is also projecting experiences she’s had with other children that have been there before onto my children, it’s not fair when they’re being a target and I’m being prevented from working, they’re not upholding their mission statement to help mothers in need of employment keep their job because the only children they’ll put out of their program are those of the mothers that are actually working. It’s unfortunate and I need last minute referrals to adequate child care which makes it very inconvenient for me to keep my job.

A great place to work and serve the community. Of course there are a few bumps along the way. But I absolutely loved working there.

Call the homeless hotline at 614-274-700 to be placed in the shelter system. The YWCA family center shelters families with children only.I work at the center. I am not the owner. I don't know why it says that.

I am homeless, Can I get in here without a Child or Children?

Sarita Sampson | Sep 12, 2020
Bryanna Gillis | Sep 12, 2020

No you can not. You have to have at least 1 child with you at all times to be in the family shelter. There is a program for singles through the Y but this one is family only. If you call the shelter intake number they can direct you.

The YWCA is a family shelter meaning you must have custody of at leat one minor child residing in shelter with you. Van Buren shelter has a single system shelter. You must call hands on central Ohio in order to access shelter.

Do you have openings for single women

Thelsherr Robinson | Sep 13, 2019
Betty Rickabaugh | Sep 13, 2019

I'm sorry we are a Family Shelter. You must have at least one child in shelter with you. Van Buren shelters single women. First you must call the homeless hotline for intake.

It’s my girl and I, she’s pregnant with our first baby, how does that work for us?

You start with the homeless hotline, you can get the info from 211. They will refer you into the program. Once you're in the program you will get a caseworker who will line you up with someone who will assist you with housing. For me personally, I am currently here in the program, our caseworker lined us up with the homeless families Foundation and they are going to pay the first three months of rent once I find an apartment. While staying here you get a room and three meals a day. They do have some rules here, such as a curfew and certain times of the day they expect you to leave to work on finding alternate housing. However, if you truly need somewhere to stay and the help it is worth having to make a few exceptions for things like a 6 p.m. curfew.
