NATIONAL WOMEN'S SHELTER NETWORK
WHAT IS THE NWSN ?
The National Women’s Shelter Network is a powerful national network of women’s homeless shelters from across the country. NWSN comes together as one for collaborative action, information sharing, and elevating the voices of women with lived homeless experience and those who serve them, to prevent and bring an end to homelessness.
COMING SOON ...
The NWSN will be hosting the first ever national conference of women’s homeless shelters in Fall 2023 in Miami, Florida. This important convening of the leaders of our nation's women's shelters will:
- raise awareness of the gender specific needs of women experiencing homelessness;
- highlight the importance of ending gender based discrimination, abuse and violence;
- showcase trauma informed best practices for women, youth and their children;
- advance the status of women as we establish a new collective voice of direct service providers;
- and advocate for more resources for women and children to prevent and end homelessness.
