YWCA Dayton Domestic Violence Shelter
We believe that everyone deserves to live a life free from violence.
Since 1977, YWCA Dayton has operated our 24/7 Crisis Hotline and Montgomery County domestic violence shelter, serving on the front lines of responding to intimate partner violence.

The life-saving work of our Domestic Violence Shelter is made possible through the strength of community. We are deeply grateful for the organizations, businesses, and advocates who stand beside us to provide safety, healing, and hope for survivors and their families. Together, we are building lives free from violence.
Our imminent risk shelters prioritize space for women and children at the highest risk of being harmed or killed for reasons related to domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking or human trafficking.
We serve women and children living in Montgomery County.
