The La Crosse Lighthouse

The La Crosse Lighthouse The La Crosse Lighthouse is a Peer Respite which is voluntary and self referred.

12/18/2025

As a nonmedical, peer-oriented alternative to hospitalization, our organization has often felt beyond the reach of traditional clinical grant funding. This week, that expectation was completely overturned. We were honored to receive Peer Support funding from both Mayo Clinic Health System and the Emplify Health by Gundersen Thriving Community Impact Fund.

Having these respected medical systems recognize and invest in our work is deeply validating and represents a meaningful step forward in strengthening the continuum of care for those navigating the challenges of mental health and substance use.

While we will continue to seek community support for our ongoing operations, this funding combined with the other funds we were awarded this year ensures we’ll be kicking well into 2026. We are profoundly grateful for the funding, the trust in what we do, and the opportunity to bring two worlds together (without requiring either to change who they are.)
