HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAMS
Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, in partnership with the federal VA and private nonprofit agencies, has established
six veterans assistance centers in Wisconsin to serve homeless veterans and those in danger of becoming homeless.
The mission of the centers is to help veterans who are homeless or who are at risk of becoming homeless to obtain steady
employment and affordable housing.
Veterans Assistance Centers (VACs) are located at Tomah, Fort McCoy,
Madison, Milwaukee, Union Grove and King.
The Veterans Assistance Center staff will confer with each veteran to determine immediate and long-term needs. Then, the
veteran and VAC staff will agree on a specific assistance program that meets those needs. Applicants who need medical
attention or treatment for drug/alcohol problems will receive these services as quickly as possible through VA Medical Centers.
Based on their housing needs, veterans may live and work at the Assistance Center, or live elsewhere and spend their days at
the Assistance Center to receive services. |
