Mission

The mission of the Housing Partnership of the Fox Cities is to enhance the dignity and self-sufficiency of families by providing quality, affordable homes and exceptional supportive services. We provide affordable homes, intensive case management, and comprehensive life skills training to families desiring to transition from homelessness to stable housing.

Values

The Housing Partnership has four core values that ensure the organization's mission is carried out throughout all activities.

We believe that poverty is a circumstance, not a value or moral judgment, which is positively altered through education, respectful support, and the opportunity for affordable housing. As such, we own and maintain over 90 quality housing units throughout the Fox Cities to provide housing for approximately 110 families each year. This housing capacity translates into dignified home environments for approximately 120 adults and 150 children annually.

We believe that families are most successful in breaking the cycle of poverty when provided the education and support to develop healthy living strategies that promote the financial, emotional, and physical health of each family member. Providing over 5,000 hours of supportive services every year, the Housing Partnership supports families in learning how to live responsibly, safely, and independently. Supportive services are individually tailored based on the needs of the family members and include: financial and health management, parenting education, job development training and support, childhood development support, and community resource education.

We believe that all individuals within the community are a part of a family and can therefore benefit from its program services. The families we serve come from current homelessness, are fleeing domestic violence, and/or are experiencing financial hardships that make independent housing difficult.

We believe that collaboration amongst service providers is crucial to ensuring the success of our community. The Housing Partnership formally participates in the Fox Cities Housing Coalition, a professional alliance of 28 agencies that address the community's basic needs amongst a continuum of service providers. This partnership aims to eliminate redundant services and proactively identify holes or areas of bottleneck that are preventing the effective delivery of basic need solutions to the community.

Founded on April 21, 1987, the Housing Partnership originated from a group of community members who recognized that families experiencing homelessness and/or fleeing domestic violence did not have suitable housing available to them after leaving the emergency and crisis stabilization shelters. As a result, these families were at a heightened risk for substandard housing, returning to their previous unsafe housing arrangements, or remaining homeless.

To address this mounting community need, the Housing Partnership implemented their transitional and affordable housing programs with the goal of providing quality, safe, and affordable homes for families needing the next step of support. Almost 30 years later, the Housing Partnership has ten full time staff, two part-time staff, and owns and maintains over 90 units throughout Appleton and Neenah.

The organization provides transitional, longer-term, and permanent housing coupled with minimal to intensive supportive services based on the needs of the family. With focus on purchasing existing homes in poor condition, the Housing Partnership uses a volunteer workforce to renovate them into a dignified home environment. Families pay an affordable rentin line with their monthly income with focus on building healthy living skills and a positive rental history. Case management and life skills services are provided to ensure that all families have the emotional and educational foundation to promote a well-balanced home.

1986-1987

Community members found the Housing Partnership of the Fox Cities, recognizing that families experiencing homelessness and/or fleeing domestic violence did not have suitable housing available to them after leaving the emergency and crisis stabilization shelters. Original business plan focused on purchasing, renovating, and then selling homes to low-income families.

This federal recognition signifies that the Housing Partnership's work in the community has been recognized and verified on a state level, providing the organization a chance to leverage local donor funding with additional state funding to increase the ability to purchase and produce affordable housing.

1996

Celebrating 9 years of service, the Housing Partnership has rehabilitated over 40 homes in Appleton and Neenah and expanded to operatingthree programs: a home ownership program, an affordable rental program, and a transitional housing program.

Our first Executive Director, Jim Wenner, says farewell and receives Helen Heil Housing Memorial Award, given to an individual who contributes greatly to the development of affordable housing in our community.

Reflection

By Msgr. Charles Pope

What is the value of one prayer? I suspect it is far greater than any of us imagine. Prayer changes things, sometimes in obvious ways, more often in subtle and even paradoxical ways. But prayer is surely important, even when we don't experience its immediate effects. Perhaps this is why Jesus taught us to pray always and never to lose heart (see Luke 18:1). Saint Paul echoed this with the simple exhortation "Pray constantly" (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Saint James also warned, "You do not have, because you do not ask" (James 4:2).

Perhaps one of the greatest joys of heaven will be seeing how much of a difference our prayers made, even the distracted and perfunctory ones. Perhaps our simple utterance at the end of a decade of the rosary to "save us from the fires of hell and lead all souls to heaven" will reach the heart of one lost soul, prompting him to answer the gentle call of God to return. Imagine if someday in heaven that very sinner comes up to you and says, "Though we never met, your prayer reached me and God applied his power to me." Imagine the joy of many such meetings in heaven. Imagine, too, whom you will joyfully thank for their prayers, people you know and some you never met. But they prayed, and the power of their prayers reached you.

Praying for the dead, however, is a spiritual work of mercy that has suffered in recent decades. Too many Catholics today "miss a step" when loved ones die. There are often immediate declarations that the deceased are "in heaven" or are "in a better place." But Scripture doesn't say that we go right to heaven when we die. No, indeed, there is a brief stopover at the judgment seat of Christ.

Purgation and purification are necessary before entering heaven, of which Scripture says, "Nothing unclean shall enter it" (Revelation 21:27). Again, this is worth praying about. It is a great work of mercy we can extend to our deceased loved ones, to remember them with love and to pray, in the words of Saint Paul, "[May God] who has begun a good work in you will bring it to completion" (Philippians 1:6). Pray often for the souls in purgatory. Surely there are joys there for them, knowing that they are on their way to heaven. But surely, too, there are sufferings that purgation must cause.

Considered to be the model for quality, compassionate care for people facing a life-limiting illness or injury, hospice care involves a team-oriented approach to expert medical care, pain management, and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient's needs and wishes. Support is provided to the patient's loved ones as well. At the center of hospice and palliative care is the belief that each of us has the right to die pain-free and with dignity, and that our families will receive the necessary support to allow us to do so.
Watch our "Basics of Hospice" video series:
What is hospice care? Hospice focuses on caring, not curing and in most cases care is provided in the patient's home. Hospice care also is provided in freestanding hospice centers, hospitals, and nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. Hospice services are available to patients of any age, religion, race, or illness. Hospice care is covered under Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurance plans, HMOs, and other managed care organizations.

How does hospice care work? Typically, a family member serves as the primary caregiver and, when appropriate, helps make decisions for the terminally ill individual. Members of the hospice staff make regular visits to assess the patient and provide additional care or other services. Hospice staff is on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The hospice team develops a care plan that meets each patient's individual needs for pain management and symptom control. The team usually consists of:

The patient' s personal physician;

Hospice physician (or medical director);

Nurses;

Home health aides;

Social workers;

Clergy or other counselors

Trained volunteers; and

Speech, physical, and occupational therapists, if needed.

What services are provided? Among its major responsibilities, the interdisciplinary hospice team:

Manages the patient's pain and symptoms;

Assists the patient with the emotional and psychosocial and spiritual aspects of dying;

Provides needed drugs, medical supplies, and equipment;

Coaches the family on how to care for the patient;

Delivers special services like speech and physical therapy when needed;

Makes short-term inpatient care available when pain or symptoms become too difficult to manage at home, or the caregiver needs respite time; and

Provides bereavement care and counseling to surviving family and friends.

Moments of Life: Made Possible by Hospice offers stories in video and text that demonstrate all that hospice can do to help patients and family caregivers at the end of life.

Hospice Video Series - Here is additional information and the code necessary to share our "Basics of Hospice" video series on your digital plattorms.

NHPCO's CaringInfo offers more information about hospice and palliative care, advance care planning, caregiving, coping with pain, grief and more.
