Description:

YMCA Supportive Housing is a community solution to help eliminate homelessness by providing Hope, Dignity, and Support in the form of permanent supportive housing. It is part of the YMCA of Greater Des Moines Association.

This Housing First Model helps people who are homeless (or who are at-risk of homelessness) move into stable and secure permanent housing supplemented by supportive services.

Case management, transportation assistance, food/clothing/hygiene pantries, rental assistance, and other services help people meet their basic needs and reach their life goals. The campus provides a place to call home for 140 men and women.

How to Help:

Individuals and groups can support the work of the YMCA Supportive Housing campus in Des Moines through donations and by volunteering. Those who desire to learn more or get involved are encouraged to call 515-282-2424 or email Ms. Erin McNamara at erin.mcnamara@dmymca.org.
