The Housing Partnership of the Fox Cities was founded in 1986 by a group of concerned community members who recognized the growing need for affordable housing in the Fox Cities. The mission of the Housing Partnership is to be the low cost provider of quality affordable housing to low income families living in the Fox Cities and to provide families, adults and children, the opportunity to realize their potential and make a lasting contribution to society through effective transitional housing and supportive services. The Housing Partnership uses existing housing that is in disrepair, and renovates and restores it using a volunteer workforce.
Our Values
- The Housing Partnership believes that everyone, regardless of economic status, deserves to be treated with respect and live with dignity in permanent housing. We pledge our commitment to providing cost effective, quality housing that is clean, safe and sanitary.
- The Housing Partnership believes that without meaningful intervention, people in poverty tend to remain in poverty. This phenomenon can last many generations establishing a "cycle of poverty" that is difficult to break. The Housing Partnership's programs strive to break this cycle by giving families in need the skills and training support to pull themselves out of poverty.
- The Housing Partnership values its relationships with other agencies. We participate in the Fox Cities Housing Coalition and work jointly with other agencies on grant applications and collaborative approaches to providing affordable housing to low income households.
- The Housing Partnership will help other organizations and individuals in the community develop an understanding of housing issues by providing volunteer opportunities with the agency and building community awareness of the need for affordable housing.
