US Oil Open Fund for Basic Needs Grant
In 2008, AFCS and six partner agencies—Bellin Psychiatric Center, Golden House, N.E.W. Community Clinic, New Community Shelter, The House of Hope and St. John the Evangelist Homeless Shelter—were selected to be the recipient of the US Oil Open Fund for Basic Needs Collaborative Grant. The Greater Green Bay Community Foundation led the selection process for this $300,000 award. These seven agencies have collaborated to develop the Mental health Outreach Resource Expansion (MORE) Program. This program will provide on-site mental health counseling, psychiatric assessment and medication management, psycho-education and staff consultation through the dedicated services of a full-time mental health therapist and a half-time Advance Practice Nurse Prescriber. If you would like more information about the services this grant will support, please contact us at (920) 437-8256.
