If you are experiencing homelessness, please complete the Program Eligibility Prescreen so our team can determine your eligibility for available services.

Housing Support That Opens Doors
Couleecap provides housing support for individuals and families across Crawford, La Crosse, Monroe, and Vernon counties. Our programs may change based on community needs, available funding, and seasonal demand.
We currently offer support for people experiencing homelessness, those at risk of losing housing, and both tenants and landlords seeking stability through education and advocacy.
Unstably Housed and Eviction Prevention
Couleecap also provides limited financial assistance to help prevent eviction or loss of housing. Households may be eligible for help with past-due rent, first month’s rent, or security deposits.
