How To Help

During this time of crisis when the Coronavirus has affected thousands of people in our Country, we must also reflect upon the need of our vulnerable populations; individuals and families impacted by trauma and mental health, as well as those who are in the homeless encampments and on the streets. The risk is high in contracting and spreading the virus to others within the impoverished communities and abroad.

We at Courageous Women Association, are constantly reminded of the families, women and children who are desperately needing shelter. With the opening of our first transitional home, the Courage House, we can still save lives and provide shelter and safety to 15 women and children during these dark times.
 
With this in mind, we have attached a resource guide from the nonprofit organization, BAWAR, that provides a host of resources to better serve our most vulnerable populations. Click here to download.
 

 

Housing, living wage employment, and health and well-being are all vital components to living and essential to women, men, and families in poverty who fight and struggle daily to survive; to change their environments, and to grow in their lives. CWA relies upon your contributions to continue providing free services to our disadvantaged communities.

Donate or Volunteer

We rely on funding and donations in order to continue providing free and low cost services that benefit survivors well-being, recovery, and self-sufficiency.

Surplus Properties

Courageous Women Association has developed a plan that will bring approximately 100 women and men to start, out of poverty and into full self-sufficiency by taking care of their housing and job needs, while providing the resources and supportive services necessary for healthy living and recovery. Each year, we will increase our numbers until everyone has a fighting chance to live in victory and productivity! Receive a tax break and other credits and benefits by donating a building to our nonprofit so that we may carry out our mission to help build a future for hundreds of people in our impoverished Bay Area communities. The building will become the “heart” and hub for living wage jobs, housing, and resources.
