| Overview
|
| West Virginia State College (WVSC) will use Historically Black Colleges and Universities funds to enter into a partnership with the local YWCA to develop the West Virginia State College/YWCA-Transitional Living Community (WVSC/YWCA-TLC) Phase II. This project will improve the economic prospects of residents, revitalize neighborhoods, and provide transitional housing for homeless and battered single women and women with children in order to teach them self-sufficiency and give them the opportunity to obtain a college education. To complete this objective, WVSC will seek to purchase land adjacent to the campus where an uninhabitable building is currently located. After acquisition, a new building will be constructed on this site in which the WVSC/YWCA-TLC will be operated. WVSC will provide each resident with tuition and books for their first semester of classes, as well as household items and limited transportation.
