Since launching the Lasting Change program last April, our staff have been visiting over 100 individuals who have obtained and maintained housing. They show up with encouragement, resources, and a simple but powerful message:

You are not alone. We’re still here.

At St. John’s Ministries, we believe the end of a shelter stay should mark the beginning of lasting stability not another chapter of uncertainty.

Because the truth is… getting housing isn’t the finish line. For many, it’s the start of a quieter struggle - navigating bills, loneliness, leases, and the fear of losing everything they’ve just gained.

That’s why we created the Lasting Change Aftercare Program... to walk with people after they leave shelter, not away from them.

Through continued support, connection to community resources (such as Crisis Cafe, N.E.W. Community Clinic, St Vincent de Paul Green Bay and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Green Bay!) and practical tools, individuals aren’t just moving into housing - they’re building stability, confidence, and a future.

Because lasting change doesn’t happen overnight. It happens through relationships, consistency, and care.

We're continuing the conversation we started on Feb. 12th about de-escalation. We realize there is still much to learn when it comes to bridging the gaps of our social and political divides. It's important that we protect our neighbors and communities. El Kruglak shows us how in this Skill Sharing on April 16th, 6 pm - 8 pm at the Community Living Room: 113 W. Harris St., Suite 1010, Appleton, WI. This is a free event, and everyone is welcome. We ask that anyone who would like to attend please register to protect everyone. Thank you.

The April journaling challenge is on! Journaling stimulates self reflection and awareness. It assists thoughts to move into action. Who accepts the challenge?
