A $50,000 Forward Together grant had a major role in opening the Oxford House of Waupaca. The goal of the Oxford House is to create a sober living community that encourages recovery from addiction. The grant started and funded by the Neuvilles say the goal of the grant is provide a significant source of funding to a single program that addresses major issues in the area. Forward Together in 2017 provided money to Catalpa Health which opened a clinic in Waupaca to offer mental health services to children and teens. An Oxford House for men opened last year and organizers plan to open a second location this spring.
