Allstate Day of Service

 

Rainbow House was selected as one of only seventeen projects nationwide to participate in the Allstate Foundation’s Day of Service, coordinated by Common Impact.  On Wednesday, April 6th, a team of nine volunteers from Allstate’s marketing division came together for a full day of community service.  This team developed a high-level marketing plan to guide the work of our latest collaborative project.  A $5,000 grant was offered in support of our initiative as well.  We are working to establish a free, anonymous, and confidential intimate partner abuse prevention helpline, serving Wisconsin adults and teens.

Thank you to Julie Macklem and her team for their incredible contribution to our project!  We were joined by Dr. Strodthoff from Milwaukee’s Alma Center, JAC Patrissi from the 10 to 10 hotline, and Sara Krall, Homicide Prevention Coordinator from End Abuse Wisconsin.   For more information about our partners, please visit:

Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance Program – Help Is Still Available

The Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance Program (WERA) provides up to 18 months of assistance with current or overdue bills to help households that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic avoid eviction. More than 25,000 Wisconsinites have already received help with rent, utilities, and internet or broadband statewide. Help is still available for eligible households through WISCAP agencies and Energy Services. The program is funded by the Federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program and administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration.
