Some History
| Second Step Housing began as a program of the Clark County YWCA in the early 1990’s. The first programs we provided were transitional housing for single mothers who had nowhere to live. Since that time we’ve grown into a larger affordable housing provider but kept our focus on people without homes. We provide housing for around 280 people each night, more than half are children. Today we still operate several shared-living transitional homes – 18 units in total. Our transitional housing program provides a critical lifeline to people in need. These properties are still mostly utilized by single moms without stable homes for themselves and their children. Some are recovering from substance use disorders, others are fleeing domestic violence, many are just living with very low incomes and doing their best to care for their young children. We provide a safe home where these families can regroup and get back on their feet. This year we ask you to join us in supporting these transitional properties. Your donation will help us provide a comfortable, well-furnished home for your neighbors in need. Please consider making a meaningful donation to help our residents thrive. Thank you for supporting Second Step Housing – we could not do it without you. |
