About Women's Shelter Giving Page
Support Community Teamwork's Effort to Alleviate Homelessness!
Each year, Community Teamwork serves more than 56,000 people in in more than 70 communities. Your support helps us meet the needs of these individuals and families and is critical as we see the numbers we serve each year continue to rise. Our latest initiative is a Dedicated Women's Shelter to serve this often-overlooked population.
Of the 580,000 people in homeless shelters and on the streets around America, roughly 38 % are women. Co-ed congregate shelters are not usually women-focused, and many women experiencing homelessness who are the victims of domestic abuse or trauma refuse to enter traditional shelters. As a result, they often spend their nights in places not fit for human habitation.
To serve this often-overlooked population, Community Teamwork is working to open a 60-bed shelter dedicated to women. We have acquired a property in Lowell for which there are significant purchase and renovation costs. We are excited about this new opportunity to serve the women in our community who are housing insecure and need a second chance.
