Economic Advancement Programs

Our Economic Advancement Programs are here for you! If you need help, please contact us at (412) 391-5100.

At YWCA Greater Pittsburgh, we work every day to support the most vulnerable in our communities, and to serve the women and people of color who are most impacted by COVID-19 and its socioeconomic effects.

Our Economic Advancement Programs strengthen connections between families, friends, and the organizations that provide services and support. We help remove barriers and disparities that hinder families from maintaining self-sufficiency by offering a safe and supportive space to connect women and men to financial assistance and other resources for basic needs, transportation, legal services, housing, healthcare, financial services, and career, personal, and professional development.
