The Family Housing Stability Program is a collaborative effort between the YWCA Madison and the United Way of Dane County. It is a shelter diversion program that serves homeless families who have not yet entered the shelter system. Family Housing Stability provides families with short-term supportive case management services and a small amount of rental assistance.

If you want more information or you are a landlord that would like to get involved, please contact the Family Housing Stability Coordinator at 608-257-1436, option 2.
