The Center for the Women of New York empowers, supports, and advocates for women who face financial, housing, food insecurity, health, violence, social, mental wellness, or legal issues. We help them by understanding their needs and connecting them with CWNY services, nonprofit partner organizations and public resources to aid, uplift, and overcome their challenges.
