What Womanspace does

Womanspace, now operating as Younity, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services agency founded in 1977 and headquartered at 1530 Brunswick Avenue, Lawrenceville, New Jersey. The organization provides a comprehensive continuum of free services to victim-survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Mercer County, NJ, delivered across 13 core service lines that span 24/7 bilingual crisis hotlines, a confidential Safe House for emergency shelter, a Transitional Housing Program with stays of 6 months to 2 years, a Counseling Center offering individual, family, and group therapy including EMDR trauma treatment, Court Advocacy at Family and Municipal courts, hospital and police-station Crisis Response Teams, Children & Teen Programs including on-site homeschooling, and Education & Outreach programming with a Peer Educator youth pipeline. The recently adopted Younity brand formalizes an expanded inclusive mission covering male survivors, LGBTQ+ survivors, and all individuals affected by abuse, supported by English/Spanish staff and the AT&T Language Line for additional languages.

The underlying operating model is community-led rather than technology-led. There is no proprietary software platform or AI component; service delivery is built on trained human advocates, partnerships with Capital Health, Mercer County courts, law enforcement, schools, and complementary nonprofits (Rescue Mission, HomeFront, The Father Center, Isles Inc., LALDEF), and a confidential physical infrastructure including a Safe House and transitional housing units. The core asset base is human capital and institutional relationships accumulated over 50 years of continuous operation.

Younity is funded entirely through donations, grants, and corporate partnerships rather than fees for service, since all direct client services are provided free of charge. Revenue streams include individual donations (one-time, monthly, and planned giving), workplace giving programs, corporate sponsorships (Amazon Wish List, donation drives, matching gifts), foundation grants (Princeton Area Community Foundation, McMillen Family Foundation, WAWA Foundation), and a broad roster of corporate donors including Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Church Dwight, NJM Insurance, FirstBank, and the NFL. In 2025 the organization served 10% more individuals than the prior year and continues to scale its volunteer advocate pipeline and 50th Anniversary programming.
