Families in western Wisconsin are getting a boost to help keep a roof over their heads.
Family Promise of the Great Rivers has received a 20-thousand-dollar grant from Clayton to support housing stability efforts in Monroe and Jackson Counties.
The funding is part of Clayton’s larger two-million-dollar commitment to the national Family Promise program, “A Future Begins at Home,” which helps families avoid homelessness and regain stability quickly.
Since launching in 2019, the initiative has helped generate more than 14 million dollars in additional funding and served over 43-thousand families nationwide.
Local leaders say rural communities often face limited housing resources and longer wait times for assistance. This grant will help families stay in their homes, reduce pressure on shelters, and strengthen overall community stability.
Clayton has also donated 20 homes to the Family Promise network since 2019, providing transitional housing for families working toward permanent homes.
Family Promise of the Great Rivers, based in Tomah, has served more than 600 individuals since it was founded.
