JAS Capital Campaign

Our Goal

Raise $1.2 million to purchase a second residence for youth aging out of foster care.

Our Why

It’s no secret that our nation faces a severe affordable housing shortage.

Here in Green Bay, this has hit JAS youth particularly hard, as they don’t have the means to compete for pricey apartments or meet strict landlord requirements.

Unable to move out, many of our youth have remained at JAS House for several years. Though we’re happy we can support these youth, we have been anguished to turn away other potential residents who could use our help.

Our Vision

Meet the goals of our Capital Campaign — and purchase a new site where we can house 12-14 more youth.

Then, we’ll convert our current site into a “Phase 2” program where we’ll house six youth. Phase 2 will allow youth who have been successful with the initial stages of the program to further their independence and practice newly acquired life skills.

At our new site, we’ll also be able to have confidential meetings with youth, hold independent living sessions with hands-on activities, and provide two emergency rooms for youth needing short-term stays when on break from college.
