🚪🤝 Connecting with our neighbors, one door at a time.

This week, members of the Guest House of Milwaukee team were out in the neighborhood, inviting nearby residents to help shape something important—our new Community Advisory Committee.

We believe strong communities are built through listening, collaboration, and shared solutions. That’s why we’re inviting neighbors, stakeholders, and partners to come together to talk about what matters most in our area, and work toward real, actionable change.

Whether it’s safety, services, or strengthening connections, this committee will help ensure that the neighborhood’s voice leads the conversation.

📬 If you received an invitation, we hope you’ll consider joining us!
💬 And if you’re interested in learning more, reach out. We’d love to connect.

Together, we can build a stronger, more connected community.

Today, Guest House of Milwaukee is honored to welcome the Milwaukee Continuum of Care (CoC) meeting!

The Milwaukee CoC coordinates community partners to prevent and end homelessness by organizing housing resources, services, and funding for people in need.

It’s inspiring to have so many dedicated partners under one roof, working together to strengthen services and support for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

Stronger together.💜

This story shares how local organizations, advocates, and community partners are working together to prevent homelessness and help people return to stable housing faster. Even in the middle of a growing crisis, collaboration is making a real impact.

At Guest House of Milwaukee, we’re proud to be part of this effort, because everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

We’re proud to have been part of an important conversation with students at University School of Milwaukee this past Friday.

Our own Monet’ Johnson-Anderson, Internal Case Manager at Guest House of Milwaukee, joined a panel alongside community partners from Walker's Point Youth & Family Center, Kinship Community Food Center, and Mr Bob's Under the Bridge to speak with ninth graders about the work we do and the complex challenges many individuals in our community face every day.

Engaging young people in these conversations is critical to building understanding, compassion, and future leaders who are committed to making a difference. Thank you to University School of Milwaukee for creating space for these meaningful discussions and to our partners for their continued collaboration in serving our community.
