YMCA Housing
The YMCA is the largest voluntary provider of safe, secure and affordable supported housing for young people in England.
With over 140 YMCA’s in 240 communities throughout England, the geographical spread of our work is extensive.
Every night, over 7,200 young people stay at the YMCA.The YMCA is committed to providing a place for young people, particularly in times of need.
We work with homeless young people from a wide range of life experience and backgrounds and this is reflected in the diversity of the YMCA’s provision.
Around England, you will find YMCA’s that offer;
- Direct access to emergency accommodation for rough sleepers
- Supported accommodation for young people who might need help in other areas of their lives
- Self-contained, medium term accommodation for young workers or students
- Foyer accommodation with training and education courses for residents
- Move-on accommodation that helps young people live independently
Housing and the Woking YMCA
The Woking YMCA is in the process of planning near future housing facilities such as a permanent shelter and a Nightstop project both based in the Woking area.
From the Ypod centre in Woking, we are providing advice and information for those that are in need of housing or are becoming homeless. However, in the near future we can then see the process through and house those particular people instead of referring them on to other shelters in the area. We have also started a food larder so we can help the starving on our door step. If you want to contribute, just drop in at reception or you can donate monthly at http://www.justgiving.com/wokingymca
