EPH was founded out of a partnership of local churches and community volunteers recognizing the urgent need for housing solutions for families with children in Brown County. Through transitional and longer-term housing, prevention, and wrap-around support, they have helped families regain stability. One family’s testimony:
“Because of EPH… I made it out of that situation. I’m stronger now and I can say to him, ‘You don’t own me.’ Because of them, I’m here.”
