Facilities Remaining Closed

- The Hilltop YMCA will remain a shelter site helping some of our most vulnerable until the fall.
- The Downtown YMCA will remain a shelter site serving neighbors in need for the remainder of the year.
These YMCAs have been serving as emergency shelters to hundreds of men and women who are homeless during this public health crisis. It’s important to the health of these individuals and our communities that we continue serving in this capacity so men and women who are homeless have a place to stay safe and be able to properly social distance.
