The Brown County Homeless and Housing Coalition serves the Brown County community. Various steps are involved in breaking the cycle of poverty. The first in this sequence is a safe and stable housing. The BCHHC devotes its time and expertise to act as a networking organization among other community help groups to make a difference.

Our membership is made up of a team of community organizations who directly or indirectly serve those who are facing the many challenges of securing housing. We provide access to these agencies through monthly coalition meetings.

I Need Help

The Brown County Homeless and Housing Coalition is compiled of many local housing services and supporting organizations. These organizations offer services such as shelter, short-term and long-term housing needs, and one-time rental assistance services, as well as many supportive organizations that can help those experiencing financial struggles.

Brown County Health &
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.

Coordinated Entry in Brown County

Programs such as Rapid Rehousing and Permanent Housing use a process called Coordinated Entry to screen individuals and families who may be eligible for placement within those programs.

The Coordinated Entry process was created to streamline access to the housing solution that fits the situation presented. Based on the assessment, you will be referred to a prioritization list for various program types and provided additional information upon request.

You can request access to a Coordinated Entry Assessment at any No Wrong Door agency in Brown County or you can contact House of Hope at (920) 884-6740.
