We are a childrens and their mothers transitional Shelter. We service Southern WI and the surrounding area. We are not a typical shelter- We are a transitional shelter that changes have an opportunity coach that works with moms on getting jobs, or if they already have a job-a better paying job. We help them raise their credit scores (on average 200 points during their stay). We help them get enrolled or complete education courses, teach them how to budget and help with any other barriers they may have to obtain housing on their own. Clients can stay a max of 12 months with our support and guidance however most are with us between 6 and 8 months before moving into their own first apartment. We have a 96% success rate.
