**NOTE: STUDENT AND INCOME RESTRICTIONS APPLY** The Salvation Army of Dane County's emergency shelter was dated and faced issues surrounding long wait times and the inability to expand to other critical services. Thus, the vision for their new campus was born: a new purpose-build shelter and The Shield Apartments to provide longer-term housing options. The Shield Apartments offers additional, critically needed affordable housing while also providing those using the temporary shelter a continuum of supportive housing to set them on a path for success as they re-enter the private housing market. A wide array of supportive services are available to assist residents of this new 44-unit housing community, providing access to stable housing as well as much-needed support to break the cycle of homelessness or domestic violence. The Shield Apartments caters to those earning up to 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% of area median incomes (see below maximum income limits), with 22 apartments reserved for those who have endured domestic violence.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
