The Putman Family YWCA is Hamilton’s first affordable permanent housing residence for single and mother-led families. Our fifty units have been created to support three priority populations, which include women living with a developmental disability, Indigenous women and families and women and their children rebuilding their lives after experiences of homelessness and violence. Trauma informed support and housing stability support and programming is offered through our Housing Support Worker.
The Putman Family YWCA also offers spaces designed for community gathering, as well as a Centre of Innovation, community garden, flexible space for seniors and youth, recreational, health and wellness programming and women and community led programming and workshops.
