Liberty House
The YWCA Northcentral PA's Liberty House Program, initiated in 2003, is a supportive housing solution for homeless individuals and families. It provides a safe and stable community-style living environment, which enables residents to rebuild relationships, regain independence, and empower themselves and each other to overcome their circumstances.

Homelessness Awareness Month
The YWCA Northcentral PA observes Homelessness Awareness Month every November to bring attention to a pressing issue. The YWCA understands that homelessness can affect anyone and breaking down the stigmas and misconceptions surrounding homelessness is crucial.
To help educate the community and provide resources, our team created a poster to distribute throughout Lycoming County. The poster aims to educate people about homelessness and provide resources to those in need.
