Laced Up for Hope: Stepping Forward Together for Memphis Families

When survivors of domestic violence take the courageous step to leave dangerous situations, they need more than a temporary exit—they need a safe, dignified place to land and rebuild. In Memphis, the YWCA Greater Memphis stands as that vital safety net, operating the city’s largest 24-hour emergency domestic violence shelter.

Right now, 38 children and 18 adults call the YWCA shelter home. Every family housed receives a private room and private bathroom, preserving their dignity while providing a secure space to heal. But shelter is only the beginning.
