Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan

Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan (LSS) believes in the infinite worth of every person and serves with compassion and courage to co-create positive change by strengthening families, healing communities, and creating avenues for belonging. Thanks to Thrivent Charitable’s support, LSS positively transformed lives in Northeastern Wisconsin by supporting residents’ behavioral health and wellbeing through in-home services, and residential care/housing. Last year, LSS served 1,573 Fox Valley region residents with multiple programs and services—including the following and more:

• Foster Care and Special Needs Adoption to strengthen families.
• Family Centered Treatment to promote recovery and improve family functioning and wellbeing for all family members.
• LSS Connections and Service Coordination to help elderly residents and adults with disabilities to continue to live independently.
• Homme Youth Center to change the trajectory of the lives of young boys at risk of entering the adult criminal justice system.
• Community based residential facilities (such as Grandstone and Eastwood) for those in need of supportive services as they navigate mental illness and substance use concerns.
• Veterans Homeless Programming for veterans who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homes to recover and regain stability and permanent housing.
