Rainbow House – Children’s Emergency Shelter
The mission of Rainbow House is to keep children safe and to support families in crisis through prevention, assessment and intervention in child abuse and neglect. The Rainbow House Children’s Emergency Shelter temporarily houses children who are in foster care or homeless; and assists parents who request placement for their children during a family crisis. The Rainbow House Regional Child Advocacy Center (CAC) provides forensic interviewing, advocacy and therapy for children who have been sexually and/or severely physically abused. The organization operated as an information and referral service for many years prior to acquiring a shelter facility. Historically, the organization provided education and information on stopping the cycle of domestic violence. The center received it’s first funding from the State of Wisconsin in 1982.
