YWCA of Sacramento is ALL About CREATING COMMUNITY

About Our Sacramento Housing Programs

Opened in 1891, YWCA Sacramento was the first YWCA in California.


Today, it is housed in a 70-year-old Mediterranean Revival style building.


The YWCA of Sacramento began as a branch office of the YWCA of Contra Costa during the 2007 calendar year. Now the YWCA of Contra Costa County is called the YWCA of Contra Costa/Sacramento to honor our new branch. The midtown location puts it within easy walking distance of the state Capitol and downtown businesses.


The Sacramento YWCA remains true to its tradition of social activism and service to the community offering affordable housing and an array of services including renting space to the community for social activities/events.
