As Independence Day approaches, Pillars invites you to celebrate “Independence Together." Your support allows our clients to build independence across many Pillars programs. One of those program is Single Room Occupancy (SRO). Living in one of Pillars' five SRO homes means clients share common spaces with roomates and have their own bedrooms. After leaving a relationship, Sarah* went to Pillars Adult Shelter and was later selected for an SRO home. Sarah is grateful the SRO program has taught her how to be responsible and accountable during her battle with addiction and mental illness. “I have an actual plan for the first time ever,” said Sarah. “I have a two-year plan. I have goosebumps! I’ve never really planned out my future before.” When you give to Pillars, your support allows clients like Sarah to learn independent living skills in programs like SRO. Celebrate "Independence Together" with us by donating here: https://lnkd.in/edxe4kY *Although the client in this story is real, their name has been changed to protect their identity.

It's been an exciting morning at Pillars! Today we received our portion of Outagamie County's investment in behavioral health via ARPA funds. As many of you know, Pillars has been operating on a deficit for the last two years. This investment allows us to focus on amplifying service quality and provision, sustaining programs at a level prepared to meet heightened demand and need, and establishing a plan to address long-term financial stability. Executive Director Lisa Strandberg said, "When you are grappling day to day with just trying to make payroll and keep the lights on, there is no room for creativity and that's what we now have room for."

We are excited and honored to share that Pillars has been selected by Outagamie County to receive $1,500,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. The grant stems from Outagamie County’s decision to invest significant ARPA funding to impact behavioral health services in our community. This significant investment, recommended by county staff, is a testament to their belief in and support of the vital role Pillars plays in serving and stabilizing those experiencing housing instability. This funding is yet another example of our community’s belief and investment in Pillars’ mission. It underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in creating a compassionate community where everyone has a place to call home. We are incredibly grateful for this support and are committed to using these funds to make a lasting impact. Read more about the impact of this funding here: https://loom.ly/7ip5YPI
