Do you ever wonder how it is that our neighbors on the street get connected to housing? It starts with our Street Outreach teams and shelter staff at Milwaukee County Housing First Pathfinders Community Advocates Outreach Community Health Centers Guest House of Milwaukee and Hope House of Milwaukee
So far this year our system has placed over 3,329 individuals and families into housing programs. 697 of those individuals came directly from the streets. The chart below represents every single housing referral and where they came from and we want to highlight the teams who are doing this essential work; from first engagement outside all the way until lease up.
CoC Outreach teams are connecting with our neighbors on the street every day and we are incredibly proud of their work.

Wisconsin Humane Society
Fisher House Wisconsin
Milwaukee Rescue Mission

"Making sandwiches helps us spread the goodness and kindness of Jesus by giving to others in need. The time and work put into making these sandwiches doesn't even compare to the thoughtfulness and compassion you are feeling and giving while you are making them. Making sandwiches is a fun way to partake in service, but you can also grow as a person and grow your faith life."
~Bella O'Brien, DSHA '24, Campus Ministry PB & J Ministry coordinator

Yesterday was our second Collections and PB & J Ministry day of the school year! DSHA students, faculty, and staff donated 678 items and $226 dollars for the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry while walking into school yesterday morning. In addition, during the lunch hour, dozens of Dashers pitched in to make 428 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which will help feed the homeless served by Repairers of the Breach and Guest House of Milwaukee.
"If God has provided us with a chance to help, it is important to do so. Making sandwiches helps us become the goodness and kindness of Jesus. Although a sandwich is small, it can go a long way in feeding others. Many students came to help make sandwiches through the kindness of their hearts."
