Exciting plans are coming together for Guest House of Milwaukee's 2026 Gala: Together at the Table, and we hope you'll join us for this inspiring evening of impact and community!

We are honored to welcome Dr. Sam Tsemberis, internationally renowned psychologist and creator of the groundbreaking Housing First model, as our featured keynote speaker. Dr. Tsemberis has transformed the way communities address homelessness around the world, helping people move from homelessness into stable housing and lasting success.

As we gather to celebrate the power of belonging and raise critical funds for neighbors experiencing homelessness and housing instability, there are still opportunities to support this important work.

At Guest House of Milwaukee, we know that housing solutions work best when they are built with purpose and designed around the needs of residents.

The National Alliance to End Homelessness has released a helpful brief highlighting key considerations for creating transitional housing programs that support lasting stability and successful transitions to permanent housing.

Transitional housing models need careful and intentional design. Programs that fall short risk leaving people stuck rather than moving them forward. Our new brief outlines the key considerations for designing TH that genuinely supports residents on their path to stability.

Future physicians learning from lived realities...

Today, Guest House of Milwaukee welcomed participants from the Aurora Health Care TRIUMPH program for a conversation about homelessness, health care, and the unique challenges individuals face when experiencing housing instability.

Our CEO, Stephen Bauer, had the opportunity to share more about Guest House's mission and discuss what future physicians need to understand when caring for patients impacted by homelessness. Building compassionate, informed health care starts with listening, learning, and understanding the social factors that affect health outcomes.

Thank you to the TRIUMPH students and faculty for spending time with us and for your commitment to serving our community.

Did you know that extreme heat contributes to at least 1,500 deaths in the United States each year?

Hot weather can be especially dangerous for young children, older adults, and individuals with certain health conditions. As temperatures rise, it's important to stay hydrated and spend time in air-conditioned spaces whenever possible. If you need a place to cool off, several public locations throughout the Milwaukee area are available as Cooling Sites. These sites provide a safe, air-conditioned environment to help residents stay healthy during periods of extreme heat.
