Walnut Ave Homes

The project represents the successful partnership between Housing Visions and The YWCA of Niagara and combines quality, affordable housing with supportive wrap-around services. Located adjacent to the YWCA’s Niagara Falls campus, Walnut Avenue Homes offers a full range of on-site supportive services to keep its residents healthy. Each residents works one-on-one to develop individuals plans and goals for self-sufficiency.

In addition to on-site services, residents have access to the YWCA’s supportive services and community partners, including extensive case management and counseling, vocational culinary training, employment preparation programs promoting occupations with a living wage, remedial education and GED, financial literacy, parenting and health and wellness programs. 

For the residents, living with fellow survivors of domestic violence in permanent supportive housing offers a healing camaraderie, an oasis of shared experience and empathy.
