My experience at the homeless shelter at the YWCA in Harrisburg was horrible first of all this supervisors act like they don’t want to help you with housing they act like they are limited and they look irritated whenever you need to follow up on things it just depletes your hope and motivation for a better life second of all there was a roommate who lived in the same room as me who was clearly I mean clearly obnoxious disrespectful irate and violent 24 seven and they did nothing about this this roommate also the same roommate stole from me on numerous occasions and they did nothing about this either all they did was say I am sorry but did absolutely nothing about it then they have the nerve to send me a notice to leave the shelter before they even helped me with anything mind you I was not the only one complaining about this roommate many people wore and they did not seem to care this was an a horrible experience and I was better off living in the streets or in my car I am just being honest everyone’s experience is different this was mine

My case worker at the ywca helped me get funding for the apartment I found. I got the first month paid for. They can also give you lists of low income housing and other things depending on your situation.

The Y.M.C.A. is it only for women? I have my son living on the street. He is not addicted. You need urgent help.

Aura Gaud | Jun 28, 2022
Tiffany Ray | Jul 28, 2022

It is for women and children!!!! Call Help ministries and they can help you get onto the coordinated entry list for emergency housing for you and your son.

One of my relative asked me to look for support for a woman who is married and has two small children. Her husband is drunkard and does not support for the family. Whatever benefits they get for the family, the husband takes everything.

Ywca is free. You have to contact the H.E.L.P. office to get in usually between 1-3 days .they feed you here so you could pay for your medicine. But there are no groups or counselors here due to covid.

Tamara Peterson | Sep 27, 2019

All donatable items that you would normally donate they will take I'm not too sure about a bulk items like furniture and things of that nature you would probably have to call them Frozen CD how to work that out if not there's always the Goodwill but you know but from household goods to personal household goods to personal hygiene and clothing for a children's clothing and women's clothing everywhere from that they will take and you can drop it off that same day that same day I would just call them though and let them know that you're wanting to drop it off so it'll make somebody aware that it's going to be dropped off and what it is you're dropping off thank you for donating to the greater YWCA you have a good
