Milwaukee Homeless Veterans Initiative

Mission statement: The Milwaukee Homeless Veteran Initiative provides the services that homeless and at-risk veterans need to reach and maintain their highest level of independence.

Since 2008, we have helped more than 1,200 veterans and their families in a variety of ways.  We fill the gaps that no one else addresses.  The need is great and growing.

We do outreach to find homeless veterans where they sleep and at daytime shelters, meal sites and other places where the homeless gather.  We help them in obtaining benefits, housing, medical care, clothing, toiletries; transportation and other necessities, and furnishing apartments when they do get a place to live.
