WHO AND WHAT IS START?
Stoughton Area Resource Team, Inc (START) helps community members in crisis by maximizing available resources to prevent homelessness and overcome the impacts of poverty.
START links Stoughton Area School District residents under the age of 55 with community resources and provides support in housing and utilities, access to childcare, education, employment, food, mental and physical healthcare, transportation, and all other areas of basic needs.
Our vision is to foster a community where everyone has the opportunity to live a dignified life, free from poverty and its associated stigma.
New Beds to Support Safe and Health Sleeping
“Last October, our family moved to Stoughton for a career opportunity, but we arrived with almost no resources or support. We didn’t even have beds for our children and didn’t have a solid plan for how they would sleep comfortably. START reached out and offered us assistance. START provided a beautiful bunk bed for our children and helped ease us into our lives in our new hometown. This was a massive blessing. We are very grateful. Thank you, START!”
START is a proud partner with United Way of Dane County and Siemer Institute for Family Stability.
