Planned Women's Empowerment Facility at Methuen's 5 Wallace Street
Methuen city officials and the regional YWCA announced a new Women’s Empowerment Facility and said they will open an office at 5 Wallace Street to provide domestic violence and sexual assault services. The announcement confirms the creation of a local point of help for people affected by those harms and describes the planned office as part of the new facility.
The city and the YWCA said the project will repurpose a building that had previously been identified as an alleged human trafficking location. Officials described the plan as converting that site into support services for survivors. For local readers, the move means a nearby resource focused on violence and sexual assault support is planned for an address in Methuen.
