The Families + Neighbors Together program highlights our commitment to our community and residents. Our team consists of one supervisor and two social workers. Our social workers, with support from our Bilingual community health workers, will provide "on the ground" support. The work will be centered in two City of Sheboygan neighborhoods where additional support is needed. 

Our south side location is the Wesley House located at 829 Union Avenue. Our north side location is at St. John's UCC located at 1248 Lincoln Avenue. These were made possible through the collaboration with Wesley United Methodist Church, Farnsworth Neighborhood Association, Sheboygan County Housing Coalition, and St. John's UCC. 

This initiative is community-focused and engaging to local stakeholders, not for profit agencies, schools and, most importantly, residents of these neighborhoods to create collaborative networks.  These networks will focus on neighborhood-based prevention and early intervention efforts to support families, communities, and agency partners. 

This program offers resource referrals, advocacy support, and problem-solving assistance to residents in the areas of housing, food security, employment, and health via relationships.
