YWFC Housing Paper: Reflecting on our COVID Emergency Housing Program

Posted by: YWFC
January 10, 2022

2020 was a busy year at the Young Women’s Freedom Center. From an unprecedented pandemic to an explosion of involvement in movements against systemic racism across the United States. We were pulled in many directions by the needs of our participants, our communities, and our movements for liberation. We were forced to critically reflect on how we could pivot our programming and advocacy to best support the immediate needs and long-term wellness of system-impacted cis and trans women, trans men, and gender-expansive folks. We found new digital spaces to share support with our participants, and we found funding to keep our communities afloat with their day-to-day needs. We were pushed to jump headfirst into work that we knew was necessary, but we had never before tried to implement ourselves.
