Walworth County's Health & Human Services Board has made significant strides in addressing homelessness in the region, particularly with the recent developments surrounding the Twin Oaks Shelter. During the meeting on June 18, 2025, it was revealed that Community Action successfully completed the sale of a property in Elkhorn, which had been gifted to them. This property was under consideration as a potential site for a new homeless shelter.

While the sale marks a positive step forward, there have been indications of public pushback regarding the proposed location for the shelter. The board acknowledged these community concerns, emphasizing the importance of engaging with local residents to address their questions and reservations.

In addition to the shelter update, the board discussed various initiatives aimed at improving health and human services in Walworth County. These discussions reflect a commitment to enhancing support systems for vulnerable populations, ensuring that community needs are met effectively.

The ongoing efforts to establish the Twin Oaks Shelter highlight the board's dedication to tackling homelessness and providing essential services to those in need. As the project progresses, continued dialogue with the community will be crucial in fostering understanding and support for these initiatives.
