In Chippewa Falls, a group of high school students secured a PSC grant funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help Hope Village – a tiny home community that provides shelter for low-income and homeless individuals – become more sustainable. With this funding, Hope Village installed a solar system that will significantly reduce their monthly energy bills.
These savings will allow the community to reinvest in their mission, providing essential support and services to the individuals and families who call Hope Village home.
