UWYC and YWCA have partnered to ensure quality childcare and transition services for individuals leaving domestic and sexual violence situations.
Outcomes During FY 19 Grant Cycle
Child Center
- 43% (40) of children enrolled in YWCA’s Child Center received tuition assistance to make childcare more affordable.
- 100% (92) of children enrolled in the Child Center are served two healthy meals and one snack daily.
- 88% (35) of families who received financial assistance have had their children enrolled in the program for a minimum of six months.
Transitional Services
- YWCA Billings provided 9,586 nights of safe shelter to 156 adults and 130 children.
- Victims of domestic and sexual violence received 506 units of transportation assistance.
- During the second half of the year many of our participants had vehicles so our units of transportation assistance were lower than expected.
- Fifty-one victims of domestic and sexual violence received 331 hours of professional mental health counseling.
- One hundred forty-four individuals secured safe, permanent housing after receiving assistance from YWCA’s case management and housing programs.
