Our network continues to grow

Welcome new partners

IMPACT Connect welcomes Revitalize Milwaukee an organization that works tirelessly to keep many low income, disabled and senior homeowners in their homes! Thank you for your kind service. We look forward to prioritizing additional housing and home retention resources as we continue to expand the network of agencies which comprise the Rental Housing Resource Center.

We also welcome The FOOD Pantry Serving Waukesha County as they continue to serve our community during these challenging times. They are one of the few pantries who offer DoorDash stockbox delivery which is life sustaining for many who are homebound. We are grateful for their critical role as our community struggles to help residents adjust to changes in benefits. IMPACT Connect is committed to recruiting additional food resources. Please join us.

We have begun conversations with United Methodist Children's Services of Wisconsin who have introduced us to an impressive group of providers including the Reclaiming Our Neighborhoods (RON) Coalition which has been an essential link for neighborhood residents to access resources that improve their housing conditions and address other health and social service needs.
