Mission: DWC's mission is to provide permanent supportive housing and a safe and healthy community fostering dignity, respect, and personal stability and to advocate ending homelessness for women.

The Downtown Women's Center (DWC) is a nonprofit organization that provides supportive services to more than 2000 homeless women each year.  The Center is dedicated to providing homeless women with the resources they require in order to reconnect with their sense of self and reclaim goals that have become lost in the day-to-day struggle for survival.  In our local Skid Row community, the Downtown Women's Center is the only resource that is exclusively for and singularly dedicated to serving the unique needs of homeless women.  Established in 1978, the Center is a nationally recognized model of effective services for homeless women. DWC has a drop in Day Center that provides a plethora of services, including meals, clothing, case management, phone and computer use, day beds, showers, and a safe resting place. DWC also has a residence that contains 47 permanent supportive
housing units
