Peggy Halloran, The Road Home of Dane County. Their mantra is Every Child Deserves a Home. The Road Home (TRH) works to provide housing for families who are facing hard times. They work with many partners in our community to make this happen. They worked last year with 170 families with 400 children. Their goal is to avoid “shelters” and get these folks into HOMES. But the problem is large … the School District estimates 1,200 homeless students last year. Eighty percent of families have a female head of household. TRH helps with programs for Rapid Rehousing and Permanent Support Housing. A good cause working on a problem that suffers from a lack of visibility.
