Women's Shelter Details
Women's Shelter
The YWCA Women's Shelter, staffed 24 hours a day, provides safe and secure emergency shelter for women and their children who are fleeing domestic violence. The shelter's kitchen, original to the 1958 construction, made cooperative work challenging. Domain Nouveau worked with the YWCA to create a bright, beautiful kitchen that reflects the shelter's goal of fostering hope, self-reliance and life skills for the women. The entire kitchen was gutted and the revitalized space now accommodates multiple women working together preparing meals. The kitchen has become a welcoming center for shelter activities and creating a sense of community.
Domain Nouveau LLC has undertaken additional phases of work to continue to improve the facility. These include HVAC, elevator, flooring, electrical service upgrade and re-roofing.
