Family Promise seeks to develop homeless shelter in Port Washington
Posted by Steve Lettau on Dec 03, 2020

By Christina Luick - Conley Publishing Group

OZAUKEE COUNTY — In partnership with Family Promise of Ozaukee County, Inc., Ozaukee County is seeking funds to develop an emergency shelter in the community. The Ozaukee County Health and Human Services Committee approved going through the process to apply for funds from the Community Development Block Grant -Coronavirus through the CARES Act.

FPOZ is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that works to help the homeless in Ozaukee County. Through their Emergency Shelter program, they used congregations to provide shelter and meals for those in need. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, churches closed and the organization began renting hotel rooms for households who were homeless. County Administrator Jason Dzwinel said they spend approximately $14,000 a month to house people in hotel rooms.

FPOZ is looking to develop a homeless shelter in Port Washington that could support 125 individuals annually. The funds from the grant would be used to cover the cost of building acquisition, renovation work and shelter operation, which would be executed by FPOZ. The estimated total cost of the project is over $1.3 million.

“Currently, the county doesn’t have any permanent homeless shelter for folks other than folks who are seeking relief from domestic violence or things of that nature,” said Policy and Budget Analyst Jason Wittek.

No county funds are required for the initial development of the project, Dzwinel said. The county is required to administer the grant.

The county submitted the intent to apply Nov. 20 to support the development of the homeless shelter. The state will let the county know by Dec. 18 if they will be invited to submit a final application, which would be due in February.

Founded in Thiensville, WI Fiddleheads is a family-owned specialty coffee company with multiple cafes, a small-batch coffee roastery, and artisan bakery.

Since Fiddleheads first opened in 1996, we have grown and transformed, but our commitment to providing our customers with a unique and exceptional experience remains unchanged. Our passion for excellence is evident while providing our customers with the highest quality products and services in the industry. This is achieved through our internal expertise and quality control that begins by hand-selecting our premium green beans from high-quality farms across the globe to cupping in our in-house lab to bring out the select few profiles that meet our quality demands to be served to our customer. This commitment is evident in our coffees as we diligently cup and sample our coffee and create a perfect roast dedicated to each coffee’s exceptional flavor notes.

A great cup of coffee begins with the ability to take premium green beans and utilize our lab equipment to extract the finest roast profile, natural flavors, and brightness that those coffee beans can produce. From acquiring premium green beans through the very first time our coffee reaches the customer’s lips we are in complete control of the quality that goes into making that product.

We are very proud of our business as a whole and consider our coffee to be the finest in the nation.
