WISEPlace provides programs that inspire, support and empower women to become positive contributors to the community.
One of the most pressing social needs in Orange County is the issue of homelessness. The County of Orange reports that there are more than 21,000 homeless individuals, almost double the number reported in 2000. More than half of the homeless individuals reported are women and children. No community, including the affluent ones, has been unaffected by this problem.

| Helping Women Help Themselves | |
| 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 more than 81% of our donations to saving the lives of homeless women.
