One Family Campaign
Our Mission: To provide lasting relief, rehabilitation and development through shelter, life-skills training, opportunity, therapy, relationships, mentoring and Christ-centered support for single mother led families experiencing homelessness. We also work with families in Dane County providing coaching to obtain or keep employment. We focus on helping community members through the Community Development Block Grant from Dane County to remove barriers to sustainable, good paying employment that can stabilize households in our community.
Not just a "shelter": Our resident families can stay up to 12 months in a family suite while they re-build their lives and get to a place where they can move out and into permanent housing supporting themselves independently. The average family stay is 6 months. Our facility is SAFE and SECURE. Each family suite has a door that locks and the only people allowed in are residents, caseworkers, staff and volunteers.
We provide a strong foundation for a brighter future for each family that works our program. Our Case Manager and Opportunity Coach provide encouragement and work tirelessly to support our residents to achieve their goals to ensure they will earn a better income. Our Motors for MOMS program helps us repair people's vehicles to keep them road safe and reliable for transportation to get to and from work.
*96% of our families have exited our program successfully into permanent housing.
*100% of our Moms obtain a full-time job that pays enough to support their family.
*90% of the women who participate in the opportunity coach's finance/budgeting life skills training are able to raise their credit scores from the 400's to the 600's in the time they stay at the shelter.

Shelter From The Storm Ministries Inc
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Shelter From The Storm Ministries, Inc. Executive Director Tami Fleming received the Reverend James C Wright Human Rights Award for 2020, the City of Madison announced. She was given the award at the Madison Common Council Meeting on Tuesday, February 23rd.
In 2011, she founded and for 7 years grew and directed an all-volunteer organization named the Friends of the
State Street Family (FSSF). The mission of FSSF has always been to “alleviate human suffering”.
“There are not enough words that can describe how Tami impacts not only the volunteers, but each person she meets,” said City of Madison Department of Civil Rights Director Norman Davis in a statement. “Her compassion for helping people attain their basic human needs is amazing, and she treats each person with respect and dignity.” Tami is both humbled and honored for such an award, as Reverend James C. Wright has a tremendous legacy in Madison for being a pioneer of the City of Madison’s Equal Opportunities Ordinance in the ’60s
