Women In Crisis of NY is developing a structured, supportive housing program designed to help women stabilize and rebuild after experiencing homelessness due to substance use recovery, domestic violence, incarceration, or other major life disruptions. Our services will include safe transitional housing for up to one year, wraparound support coordination, life-skills development, mindset and confidence-building programming, and connections to community resources such as employment assistance, education, healthcare, and recovery support. Our approach combines compassion with accountability, creating an environment where women are supported emotionally while also being guided toward long-term independence and self-sufficiency.
Women In Crisis of NY is led by Founder and Executive Director Cathy Williams, whose leadership is grounded in more than 25 years of sustained recovery and decades of service supporting women through life transitions. Her lived experience, combined with her background in recovery support and coaching, shapes the organization’s trauma-informed and structured approach.
This foundation ensures that every aspect of our program is built on compassion, accountability, and practical tools that help women restore stability, rebuild confidence, and move toward long-term independence.
