Welcome Friends

The Center for Women in Transition (CWT) is a not-for-profit homeless shelter in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, that offers support services and safe transitional housing to disadvantaged women and their children.

Our mission at CWT is two-fold: to provide women in need with a home and to foster and sustain their self-sufficiency. We also raise awareness about homelessness and advocate for women's empowerment in our community.

Thank you to everyone who attended Saturday's Evening of Elegance. Thank you also to the event's sponsors - refinery, Christopher's Fine Jewelry Design, Provena Covenant Medical Center, Chef Benjamin and Company, Balloon Creations, and Star Talent Events.

Presby House Opened January 2009

In January 2009, CWT again expanded its program to include Presby House. This property was purchased by the Center and completely renovated by volunteers led by The First Presbyterian Church of Champaign and the First Presbyterian Church of Urbana. Presby House provides permanent housing to four single women.

Since opening its doors, CWT has served well over 3,200 women and children in need of support and temporary housing. Today, the staff and volunteers at CWT continue to reach out and help homeless women and children to improve their lives.
