Phase 2 of the Hope. Home. Community Capital Campaign is focused on Socially Inclusive Housing (SIH), a revolutionary approach to housing instability and community building in Green Bay.
Our Story
The Gateway Collective is formed
_edited.png)
In early 2023, St. John’s Ministries formed a new 501(c)(3) focused solely on the housing needs of the greater Green Bay area in efforts to help stabilize and strengthen our community.
St. John's Ministries will continue to operate as a seasonal shelter of last resort. The Gateway Collective, exists to ensure the successful implementation of socially inclusive housing in our area while also offering resources to help build economic and social stability.
