Women that end up homeless include former abuse victims, seniors, 18-years-olds emancipated from foster care and those with developmental disabilities. They are women who find themselves without shelter. Searching for a new beginning, a way to once again be contributing members of society. At WISEPlace, we're here to help.

WISEPlace offers housing and support services for homeless women who are committed to changing their lives. WISEPlace has an 85-year history of caring for local women and was the YWCA of South Orange County. By meeting basic needs such as housing, food, clothing, physical and emotional nourishment, as well as vocational and life skills training, WISEPlace is one of the few places these women can go to begin again.

As a community non-profit, WISEPlace returns 81% of our donations to saving the lives of homeless women.
