More than an emergency shelter, the Helen Wright Center for Women (HWCW) is the only low-barrier facility in Wake County dedicated exclusively to serving single adult women without custody of children experiencing homelessness. Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, we provide safe shelter, essential services, and workforce development in a supportive, goal-oriented environment that empowers women to move from homelessness to stable housing and long-term self-sufficiency.
