Expo Of Wisconsin

About EXPO Wisconsin

EXPO Wisconsin is a nonprofit operator based in Madison, Wisconsin, running a supportive housing program for formerly incarcerated women across Dane County.

Ex-Incarcerated People Organizing

EXPO Wisconsin, formally Ex-Incarcerated People Organizing, works to end mass incarceration and dismantle structural discrimination through reentry support, workforce development, peer support, restorative justice and voting rights advocacy. Housing is one piece of that broader mission, not a standalone rental business.

A 501(c)(3) Recovery Housing Provider

Operating as a registered nonprofit means EXPO Wisconsin's housing program answers to a board and a public mission instead of a private landlord's bottom line. That structure is a meaningful public record for anyone evaluating a Madison recovery housing provider serving a reentry population.

Serving Women Rebuilding After Incarceration

EXPO Wisconsin's housing network centers women, many of whom are also navigating recovery from substance use alongside reentry. Pairing the two is deliberate, since housing instability and relapse risk after incarceration tend to move together.

Working in Dane County

Madison is the state capital and the seat of Dane County, and EXPO Wisconsin's programs draw on the courts, state offices and outpatient providers concentrated in the city to support the women it houses.

Reaching EXPO Wisconsin

Referrals and applications go through EXPO Wisconsin directly. Worth asking about program length, what support services are attached to a housing placement, and how the organization coordinates with outside treatment providers for residents also in recovery.
