How to find a women’s shelter in New York City

How do I find a women’s shelter near me in New York City?

It is important to visit an intake shelter because shelters are created according to your current situation: single women seeking shelter go to different shelters than women with families and children. Women survivors of Domestic Violence that need fae, immediate shelter (due to domestic violence) have access to assistance at places like Freedom House. NYC’s intake shelters are open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The intake shelters are located in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx so select the intake shelter that fits your situation and that is nearest to you.
