Our Work

Housing Justice
Asiyah Women’s Center is committed to providing housing support and resources for women in need, especially survivors of domestic violence. Through our referral system, we connect clients with external services and provide numbers for additional support. We work to ensure that survivors have access to appropriate housing options. Our team also coordinates with external organizations to facilitate transitional housing for survivors, helping them navigate their journey toward stability and safety.

Community Engagement
We foster community involvement by creating opportunities for people to give back to domestic violence survivors and engage in a safe, supportive environment. We raise awareness and fundraise through initiatives like Aunt-tea Time, Asiyah Allies, and various events. Community members can volunteer, and participate in our annual College Asiyah Charity Week competition every October.
