YWCA Capital Campaign
The YWCA Central Alabama is raising $10.5 million to increase its capacity to strengthen families and communities. This $10.5 million public/private partnership will double the amount of its affordable housing, increase its domestic violence services and continue high-quality childcare for homeless and low-income children.
The $10.5 million investment will go toward:
- A new Interfaith Hospitality House – The current YWCA IHH is the only shelter for homeless intact families, single mothers with adolescent sons or homeless fathers with children. It is inadequate to meet current demand.
- Buying and rehabilitating 70 apartments in Woodlawn – This will revitalize a Birmingham neighborhood and provide critically needed affordable temporary and permanent housing.
- Expanding domestic violence services in St. Clair County – The current YWCA services would be broadened to provide transitional apartments for DV victims where there currently is no housing.
- Continuing the YWCA’s high-quality homeless and low-income childcare – The YWCA’s childcare program is one of the few in the nation that is nationally accredited and must retain the resources and leadership to remain excellent.
- Long-term sustainability – $1 million will be added to the YWCA Endowment.

Working together, we can create communities where all families have a safe, stable place to live, and adults and children can develop skills for success. We want communities where all people can live in dignity – free from violence, racism and discrimination.
