BROWN COUNTY HEALTH AND EDUCATION IMPACT STUDY

Health and Education Impacts of Homelessness and Housing Services in Brown County

At the end of 2023, on behalf of the Brown County Homeless and Housing Coalition and the Greater Green Bay Blueprint to Prevent and End Homelessness, a grant from Brown County Public Health was received to integrate Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data into the Community Information System (CIS), a database operated in partnership by Achieve Brown County and the Brown County United Way, as a response to strategies identified in the Brown County Community Health Improvement Plan.

Homeless service providers in Brown County, WI, with support from the Institute for Community Alliances, worked with local hospital systems and schools to explore how access to homeless services impacts health and education. The Impact Study shows that access to homeless services improves both health and education outcomes for youth in our community:

  • Children/youth who accessed emergency shelter saw a 55% reduction in ER usage (1x per year to 1x per 2 years), AND children/youth who accessed stable housing saw a 76% reduction in ER usage (1x per year to 1x per 4 years).
  • Of youth attending High School who received access to targeted youth outreach services, 100% return to full school attendance, an increase of nearly 30% in attendance rates.

HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS MONTH 2024

Partner Highlights: A Homelessness Awareness Month Series, November 2024

This Homelessness Awareness Month, we’re spotlighting some of the often-unseen partners who help prevent and address homelessness in our community. While shelters and housing agencies may come to mind first, creating sustainable solutions to homelessness requires a broad network of support. From healthcare providers and schools to businesses, faith groups, and community centers, each partner brings unique resources that help individuals and families achieve stability.

The Greater Green Bay Blueprint to Prevent and End Homelessness highlights that “Every Greater Green Bay stakeholder has the potential to bring solutions, expertise, and energy to the work to prevent and end homelessness….The insight, wisdom, perspective, and connections different members of a community bring creates the momentum, new solutions, power, and push needed to respond to the complex, multi-faceted community issue that is homelessness and housing instability.

Join us in recognizing the vital contributions of a few of our local non-traditional allies and celebrating the impact we make together.
