Brown County Health & Education Impact Study

Examining the impact of housing services on health and education outcomes in Brown County

In 2023, a grant from Brown County Public Health supported the integration of Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data into the Community Information System (CIS), in partnership with Achieve Brown County and United Way.

This collaboration enabled local providers, healthcare systems, and educational institutions to better understand how housing services influence community-wide health and education outcomes.

Key Findings

Health and Education Outcomes

  • Emergency room utilization decreased by 55% among youth in emergency shelter.
  • Emergency room utilization decreased by 76% among youth in stable housing.
  • Youth receiving outreach services achieved a 100% return to school.
  • Overall school attendance rates increased by nearly 30%.

Greater Green Bay Blueprint to Prevent and End Homelessness

The Greater Green Bay Blueprint and Community Housing Initiative serve as a collaborative, community-wide strategy to address housing instability and homelessness in Brown County. It aligns partners across sectors to implement data-driven solutions and improve long-term outcomes for individuals and families.

Coordinated Entry

Message from Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin regarding NEWCAP clinic closure- Dear Community Partners,We know the closure of NEWCAP services is already impacting patients across Northeast Wisconsin.

If you have patients who need care now, here’s what to do: Refer for in-person care (within driving distance):Patients can be seen at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin health centers in:· Green Bay· Appleton· Oshkosh· Manitowoc· Sheboygan These locations can provide timely access to birth control, STI/STD testing and treatment, cancer screenings, pregnancy testing, and other essential reproductive health services. Use virtual care for fastest access:Patients can often be seen same-day or next-day through our Virtual Health Center. This is the fastest option for many patients. Virtual care includes:· Birth control (including prescriptions sent to pharmacy or by mail)· Emergency contraception· STI/STD evaluation and treatment· UTI treatment· HIV prevention (PrEP/PEP)· Gender-affirming hormone therapy Help patients schedule:Patients can book directly online or by phone.

System Data

Brown County regularly tracks and reports system performance using key metrics such as service utilization, housing outcomes, and point-in-time counts. This data informs decision-making and supports continuous system improvement.

Coordinated Entry in Brown County

Programs such as Rapid Re-Housing and Permanent Supportive Housing use a process called Coordinated Entry to assess and connect individuals and families to appropriate housing resources.

Coordinated Entry helps streamline access to housing by matching each household with the program that best fits their needs. Based on the assessment, individuals are placed on prioritization lists and referred to available housing opportunities.
