BABES Network - YWCA

Live here. Hella nice rooms. Recently renovated with never lived in units. Studios and full bedrooms available. Sizeable for a studio as well.

Discrimination and zero empathy in every request. In Issaquah, WA, there's not even an administrator. And even less so anyone who knows what customer service is, when they know these are people trying to get a little support, which isn't free; it's just a chance that one is looking for.

I am compelled to express my dissatisfaction with the services provided by the YWCA. My attempts to enroll in health insurance were met with a lack of follow-up on my emails, leading to unnecessary delays. This is unacceptable, especially for women in shelters who depend on timely healthcare access. Additionally, my experience with housing assistance was equally disheartening. After submitting a pre-application and receiving confirmation from the coordinator, Emily, I was later informed that my application was never received. This miscommunication caused a month-long delay and has been a complete waste of time. The YWCA is supposed to be a reliable source of support for those in need. However, my experiences have been characterized by frustration and disappointment due to poor communication and organizational inefficiency.

I didn’t use any services here - but as an FYI to others as of April 23 2024 - The place looks like it is under renovation - all the windows are boarded up sidewalk blocked off. Which means it’s probably out of service for the next month or more.

I had a terrible experience going here for help. Me, my wife and my 6 children need to find shelter and need food. Matthew Lawrence was no help and he scared my children with all of his piercings. Unpleasant and unprofessional. Guess we will try to find help elsewhere. :(

Myself and my fiancé cannot thank the YWCA enough. We had recently faced a hardship and were behind on our utility and rent. We were trying to catch up on our our own when our apartments forced us to seek assistance or move. The same day we applied, we were approved and a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. I do not even have the words to describe how thankful we are and we will truly never forget the help that we received.

The YWCA Building was opened in 1914 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Cool looking Building!

Oops

I owe my life to this place. They have helped me in every way possible! From helping me and my husband get a ruff over our heads , right on down to gettin ID cards , even help get your debt in order and back on track! Which is a big win for me. They also help you (family) with food, medical needs for yourself And your minis. They help with EVERY SINGLE thing with children!!! School clothes, doctor visits, theu even help pay for children's median's or glasses things of that nature. They help with schooling for yourself and your kids!!! Also just discovered they are willing to help get your license back as well. The only thing they ask in return is too follow their simple guide lines, and work on bettering yourself, future and current situation! I'm so thankful I found this program to help. Its a great stepping stone for those of us who just need an extra hand while we get caught up!
