🤲 the Elvehjem Neighborhood Housing Crisis Fund 🏠

Raising $10,000 for neighbors in need

As one of Madison’s leading neighborhood associations, the ENA is deeply invested in improving and maintaining housing security for the people who buy and rent in our wonderful neighborhood. Especially given the unprecedented economic challenges presented by the COVID-19 epidemic, it is more important than ever to do everything we can to keep our neighbors safely in their homes. 

Unfortunately, there are many households and families right here in Elvehjem who are housing-insecure. The Tenant Resource Center has worked tirelessly to try to help these families—but they need our help to continue this work.

This is why the Elvehjem Neighborhood Association has officially launched a neighborhood Housing Crisis Fund in cooperation with the Tenant Resource Center. This fund will provide support to individuals and families in Elvehjem who are at risk of losing their housing. It will be managed and allocated by the Tenant Resource Center to make the maximum impact through uses like rental assistance, utility payments and rental rights support.

In 2021, we have an ambitious goal for this fund—we’d like to raise $10,000. 

To kick off the effort, the ENA is making a special offer: The Association will match each donation made, up to a total of $1000, between now and March 15.
