YWCA of Canberra Community Services Portfolio operates within a strengths-based community development framework to deliver a range of important programs and services to the Canberra community.

Affordable Housing

The YWCA of Canberra has a long history in providing accomodation options to women and their families, and we currently provide supported accomodation services on behalf of the ACT Government. As a service within the homelessness sector we have become increasingly alarmed about decreasing affordability of housing within the Territory, and the impact of this on homelessness and as a result have been considering ways in which we may be able to respond to this issue.

Housing and Social Inclusion Unit 
The Housing and Social Inclusion Unit operates in accordance with the values of the YWCA of Canberra and strives to create a socially inclusive society where all people feel valued, their differences are respected, and their basic needs are met so they can live in dignity.

Youth and Family Services Unit
