FAQ

Over the past decade, the Department of Public Instruction has documented approximately 175 homeless children annually. Providing children with safe, stable housing improves academic performance, reduces behavior issues and saves the school district funding.

The THV is for homeless families who need safe, stable housing. Families will live there for up to two years while they rebuild and stabilize. The THV will help them develop the necessary resources to move to permanent housing, whether that is subsidized or market rate housing.

2-4 individuals. The maximum occupancy for each unit would be four persons; however, we expect most families to be in the two to three person range.

No. The project was not designed for single occupants. The project’s financials do not support single occupants, nor are any of the partners looking to operate this project as a single-occupant project. It is possible that, from time to time, a resident could be living alone as children age out, move out, have a change in custodial arrangements, etc. However, these would be transitory conditions.

The THV will be jointly owned by the Wisconsin Partnership for Housing Development (WPHD) and the Oshkosh Kids Foundation (OKF) via a to-be-formed nonprofit limited liability corporation. The WPHD will maintain primary responsibility for ownership and operation, while the OKF will be the minority partner.
