HCRC ensures that children and families are safe, healthy and ready for success! In 2000, 526 S.
What is now known as Howe Community Resource Center started out as a small parent resource room at Howe School. Realizing that the space at Howe School was limited and having bigger visions, stakeholders began looking for a permanent building. Monroe Ave (a former AAA) was purchased and remodeled through the hard work and generosity of many in the community. The name was changed in 2013 to Howe Community Resource Center, recognizing the role the center plays as a resource and our efforts in building community. By 2004, momentum had grown and many of the programs and services offered at the resource center were thriving. Oral Health Partnership was created and, in 2006, a state of the art, 3-chair dental clinic was added to provide full service dental care to underinsured or uninsured children. In 2009, we became a gateway agency for The Community Partnership for Children, thus beginning our parenting program
We know we have something very special and unique. As we look to the future, we look to expand the number of resource center created programs, as well as maintain partnership programs. The resource center is one of the three gateway agencies in our community that provide services to ensure children, prenatal to 5 years old, are safe, healthy, and ready for school. New programs and exciting new directions have called for new staff members. We have come a long way from that small, one room resource center and we are excited about where we will go next! We do not have service restrictions based on age or income, and we serve all of Brown County, so take a look at what we offer and join in the fun!

💛 We’re grateful to Achieve Brown County for highlighting our partnership and the work happening alongside families in our community.
It truly takes a collective effort to provide the kind of wraparound support that helps families thrive. We are thankful to be part of a network of partners who are committed to showing up, working together, and supporting the whole family.
As we move forward, we remain focused on listening to families, learning from their experiences, and ensuring their voices shape our programs. That’s how meaningful, lasting impact happens, and we are proud to be part of that work together.

Last night these super cool ladies got together for women’s group. 🌿
We had fun making herbal bath sachets, chatting about self-care, and somehow went down a rabbit hole about everyone’s favorite foods (which may have been the highlight of the night).
It was such a relaxed and fun evening together.
We still have a few spots open if anyone is interested in joining us — feel free to message us for more information!

⭐Celebrating our home visiting staff who are continuing their education while serving families every day. ⭐
Our team carries so much.
They hold space for families navigating stress, transitions, and growth and at the same time, they are stretching themselves through coursework, exams, and practicum experiences.
It takes resilience. It takes discipline. It takes heart.
Their commitment to learning is a direct investment in the families we serve, and our community is stronger because of it.
We are incredibly proud of this team.

Howe Community Resource Center (HCRC), in partnership with Howe Elementary School, builds a strong and resilient community through education and support to children and their families.
The Center lives our mission by providing services to Howe Elementary School children and families as well as providing parenting education and support to young at-risk families in Brown County. We are celebrating a 20+ year relationship/partnership with Howe Elementary School. We believe by providing support in the areas of increased attendance and parent engagement, students have a greater chance at academic success.
In our comprehensive and intensive parenting work, we also want to see families succeed. The major component of our parenting program is home visitation with families who have children under five to ensure all children are healthy, safe and ready to learn. We focus on three main areas in every home visit: Parent-child interaction, family well-being and developmental milestones.
Building relationships is key to our work. Whether we are building relationships at Howe School or in our parenting program, it is trust that must be established between our staff and the children and families. As a result of building relationships and trust, we are able to work positively together.
Vision
HCRC positively impacts children and their children. HCRC is a strong and collaborative partner in increasing academic success of Howe Elementary School students. We are a part of growing successful children to develop into healthy and productive citizens. HCRC is creative and nimble in responding to Howe School and community needs.
Values
HCRC has five guiding values that guide our work
Judgment free
Integrity
Compassion
Trauma Informed *
Sense of achievement and empowerment
Trauma Informed* means we recognize many of the people we work with have experienced adverse childhood experiences that have traumatized these individuals. Rather than looking for what is wrong with them, we ask what happened to you that helps us understand why they may be acting or reacting in certain ways.
