Our Mission: The Women’s Center of Wake County uses evidence-based practices to provide stability and housing for single women experiencing homelessness.
The Women’s Center is now operating Wake County’s drop-in overnight shelter for men and women on a temporary basis. This change is due to the Second Street Shelter renovation, expected to last through October of this year. The new drop-in shelter site is 3211 Bramer Drive in Raleigh, accessible by the #14 bus route. Operating hours for the overnight shelter are 7:00 pm to 7:00 am.
Beginning Monday, May 4, the Women’s Center Day Shelter program will also operate out of the Bramer Drive building, ensuring that women have consistent access to essential daytime resources, support, and services. The Recuperative Respite program will continue to operate out of the 2200 New Bern Ave location.
