Czappa, who assumed his duties Wednesday, has 20 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, including working at the Chippewa Valley Habitat for Humanity, where he began the organization’s first ReStore program and a neighborhood home repair program.
“I want to promote La Crosse Promise with a strong presence in the community, and I look forward to supporting and expanding its mission and programs,” Czappa said.
Since 2015, the neighborhood program has awarded education scholarships to people who buy, build or renovate homes in the Powell-Poage-Hamilton and Washburn neighborhoods.
The program has leveraged more than $6.5 million of private investment in La Crosse neighborhoods.

But Clements says many are close contacts to cases outside the school.
“And so, they’re in quarantine,” Clements said.
That’s when schools go to work to contact trace any exposures.
