A privilege to issue a proclamation honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to celebrate this day of remembrance, reflection, and service.

Precisely this

Here are some questions to consider when considering our collective fiscal health. For instance, do we have a surplus or underfunded public schools?

As promised, legislation to add a City Administrator.

101 of Wisconsin's 190 cities have a professional administrator. La Crosse could be next. The city council votes this month on adding a City Administrator position. Please check out the information on the city's website and provide feedback:

"International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) – held on August 31 every year – is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind."

The theme for 2024 is “Together we can”, highlighting the power of our community when we all stand together. Check out the Alliance to Heal's new Harm Reduction Toolkit to learn more about what we can be doing locally http://www.alliancetoheal.com/harm-reduction-toolkit.html

Truly an inspiring organization meeting the needs of our community. Every. Single. Day. Huge gratitude to all of the volunteers who show up to make this effort. Certainly, massive appreciation to the donors that make it all possible.

Last week, we had a volunteer group from the of La Crosse, Wisconsin Mayor's office. Mayor Mitch helped primarily in the warehouse with deliveries, weighing and sorting product. The rest of the team helped with stocking the pantry and then assisted shoppers while they chose food items. It's always great to showcase what WAFER does for the community and our neighbors in need of food help, provide some hands on experience, and for us to be on the receiving end of a little extra help.

Incredible to lead an organization that can accomplish the extraordinary lift of opening two new fire stations in two years. This is a transformative shift and shows the investment our is willing to make in emergency services

Building a new system of care and response takes time, intention, collaboration, and effort. Clearly, this is the only realistic way forward on such an enormous issue

Leaders from La Crosse County and the City of La Crosse delivered a six-month implementation update on Pathways Home to the county board and city council last week. Pathways Home is our city-county homelessness response plan. Since its launch in January:
✅ A coordinated housing connection process (better data, weekly case conferencing meetings with 19 agencies) has been launched.
✅ A specialized behavioral health unit has been created (staffed by county social workers).
✅ A faith community outreach plan has been developed to better coordinate support networks.
✅ Thirty people from the new Pathways to Housing list have been prioritized for housing.
