About YWCA Clinton Empowerment Center
The YWCA Empowerment Center seeks to stop homelessness before it starts. We assist individuals and families in Clinton and Jackson Counties who are experiencing or on the verge of experiencing homelessness through our Homelessness and Homelessness Prevention programs. YWCA Clinton believes that safe housing is a basic human right.
YWCA Clinton operates under the Housing First Model. Housing First is an evidence-based homeless assistance approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness, thus ending their homelessness, and serving as a platform from which they can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life. This approach strives to break the cycle of poverty/homelessness so that people utilizing funds are on the road to self-sufficiency.
