Gonna Make a Home
For IHN and MYC
Put one block on top of another.
Gonna’ make a home for our sisters and brothers.
No matter what your home’s made of.
Hold it all together with hope and love.
Hold it all together with hope and love.
A place that’s comfy and cozy.
Warm for your fingers and tosies.
Though everything might not be rosy,
You belong
It makes you strong.
Where lovely people will feed you,
Not just because they agreed to.
You need them and they need you.
It’s a home for you -
A place that’s true.
It’s not just the walls that surround you.
It’s the people you find and who found you.
Who raise you up and who ground you.
It’s because
They show their love.
You don’t need a roadmap.
Just hop in your momma’s soft lap.
When you’re taking a warm nap,
Let it all go
‘cause you’re home.

about the road home
The Road Home Mission Statement
The Road Home Dane County serves homeless families with children in collaboration with local faith communities and organizations. We are committed to the empowerment and long-term success of children and families, to serving each family with dignity and respect, and to achieving results in helping families improve their lives. We welcome the entire community, in all its diversity, to participate in the pursuit of safe, affordable housing for all.
The Road Home History
After two years of work by a core group of religious leaders and shelter providers, The Road Home Dane County (then known as Interfaith Hospitality Network of the Madison Area) opened our doors on April 26th, 1999 as an overflow shelter for families who could not be served by the existing shelters. Since that time, we have expanded to providing eight more programs that assist families in moving to stable housing and other successes. The Road Home currently serves about 150 homeless families with children each year in Dane County.
