Hebron House of Hospitality, Inc. incorporated in July
1982, and opened the doors of the Hebron House shelter on August 1, 1983.
Hebron House of Hospitality, Inc. focuses on serving families and single
women experiencing homelessness for emergency shelter. All of the
programs and services Hebron House of Hospitality, Inc. develops and
provides have evolved through improvements made based on client input and
needs.
Hebron House of
Hospitality, Inc. designed and started a no-interest loan program and a
housing education program in February 1986 that continue to operate to
date under the Housing Services Programs.
In 1988, Hebron
House of Hospitality, Inc. purchased the building and assisted in
coordinating the centralization of emergency services through the
Cooperating Congregations of Greater Waukesha. At that time the M and M
Building offered free legal aid, furniture, moving services and the
Waukesha Food Pantry was located in the campus. Hebron House of Hospitality, Inc. gave
ownership of the building to Cooperating Congregations of Greater
Waukesha for one dollar ($1) when they became fiscally able to accept the
financial responsibility.
In 1991, Hebron
House of Hospitality, Inc., in collaboration with the Community Housing
Initiative (CHI), started a Case Management program with two houses for
families.
In 1992 Hebron House of Hospitality Inc. provided, through an agreement
with Waukesha Housing Authority, case management for twenty-five
families.
In 1993 Hebron House of Hospitality, Inc. started providing Case
Management services to Cornerstone Apartments. Cornerstone Apartments is
a housing development with forty-one units of affordable housing for
homeless single adults with special needs. The project is a collaborative
effort with for profit and not for profit investors.
In 1997, Hebron House of Hospitality opened the Jeremy House Safe Haven
that provides emergency shelter and support services to single men and
women experiencing homelessness and mental health issues. Jeremy House
Safe Haven is a collaborative project with the Mental Health Association
and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill as partners.
Hebron House of Hospitality opened a second emergency shelter, Siena
House, in April 2000, due to the fact that the demand for shelter was
exceeding the available resources by four to one. This was made possible
by a grant from
United Way
in
Waukesha
County
and a grant
for renovation by Community Development Block Grant.
In 2002 Hebron House of Hospitality purchased through a Department of
Housing and Urban Development Supportive Housing Program grant and
Community Development Block Grant funding, two-four unit apartment
buildings for permanent housing for persons with co-occurring special
needs.
