Project Title: Emergency Shelter and Housing Stability Program
Project Description:

House of Hope Emergency Shelter provides a safe, 24/7/365 trauma-informed environment for youth and youth-led families with children (head of households age 24 and under) experiencing homelessness. Our mission is to break the cycle of generational poverty by ensuring homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring.

Operating as the only shelter care in Wisconsin that does not separate minor parents from their children, House of Hope preserves family unity during crises. In the most recent year, we served 1,279 individuals, nearly 60% of whom were children. We provide more than just a bed; participants receive intensive, strengths-based case management, basic needs support, AODA services, and life-skills training in parenting and financial literacy.

Impactful, Outcome-Driven Results:
•Superior Success Rates: House of Hope achieves a 76% transition rate to stable housing, nearly triple the regional average of 25%.
•Long-Term Stability: 80% of families remain stably housed two years after program completion.
•"Housing is Healthcare" Success: Our model resulted in $964,000 in avoided emergency room costs last year, proving that stable housing reduces the burden on community health infrastructure.

By utilizing a low-barrier, “no wrong door” approach, we remove traditional hurdles like absolute sobriety requirements or criminal background denials, ensuring the most vulnerable community members have equitable access to safety and independence. House of Hope provides the essential bridge for young parents to grow into confident, successful community members.
