Rapid Rehousing

Homelessness is a problem with a solution. And that solution is housing.

YWCA Dayton’s Rapid Rehousing is a program that helps individuals and families who have experienced both homelessness and interpersonal violence to find safe and secure housing.

Clients in this program receive housing search services, security deposit and rental assistance up to a period of 12 months, application fees, utility assistance, and supportive services including case management.

We serve individuals and families that have experienced housing instability as well as domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking or human trafficking.

Almost 1 out of 3 survivors of intimate partner violence experience homelessness after leaving the relationship. Our goal is to help survivors obtain housing quickly, increase self- sufficiency, and stay housed.

We assist those fleeing interpersonal violence, who reside in emergency shelter or have no alternate housing options.
