It was a place a woman can truly relax and heal with her children....even though it's said to be haunted!
Nasty up keep. Shower is molding and flies HUGE flying around big. They play favoritism and giant dogs lives here . This the Worst and MOLD ON WALLS IN BATHROOM ,, They do not allow you to bring your own cleaning products.But they don't supply strong enough products.And I think staff needs to come behind at the end of the night.The third shift staff to make sure bathrooms and showers are clean.This is disgusting here.The city needs to come in this place. I look up the women center but this is your southside location off of thirtieth street disgusting

Very little activity for kids. A plus, you have your own room. However, you are in your room most of the time. It makes you feel like you're in jail.
