Statements about the Wisconsin Going Home Project

Going Home Client

"I was never on Parole. But I can picture what it would be like just w/ Parole with no other programs such as Independent Living, Curative and Going Home Project. However during this time I am on Parole but as I said with before with programs. I'd personally would like to thank everybody because personal I would not have made it this far. Thanks to them for the most part I am living successful and almost on my own. I think one of the things that helped me was they had stuff for me to work for. If it was not for them I would not have gotten close to fill out an application for employment. They have encouraged me to not be lazy. I have a lot of support. Thank you!"

Going Home Client

"The Going Home Project was a very helpful experience for me by helping me to be dependent on myself. It helped me by being able to make my own choices and being able to get help finding jobs and housing. To me the Going Home Project was very excellent to be part of because without it I wouldn't be where I'm at today."

Going Home Client

"The Going Home Project has helped me to start school right away and has given me a lot of support in not giving up. It has given me an opportunity to earn some of the things that I need for my house like groceries and other needs I have for independent living. The Going Home Project has given me a lot of structure and more education. I am happy to be involved."

Family Service Residential Treatment Facility

"Very positive and beneficial for clients. It is sometimes complicated with having so many people involved, but this is offset by all of the great things available to the clients. Clients are able to go out into the community more and on a regular basis. So much more services for client. More support for the client, which helps with transition back to the community. Incentives have helped motivate the clients. Only have positive things to say about the program".
