What this benefit is

WDVA runs a residential programme at Union Grove giving homeless or at-risk veterans temporary housing, three meals a day and supportive services while they work towards permanent housing, employment, education or recovery.

What it's worth: Temporary residential housing with three meals a day, training and supportive services

  • WDVA publishes no programme length, no charge and no bed count, so we do not put a figure on it.

Who is entitled to it

  • You are the veteran.
  • Your home is in Wisconsin.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Contact the Union Grove site directly on 262-878-9151. WDVA states the site handles referrals, applications and programme questions itself.
  2. 2Ask about the current site list before you travel. WDVA’s page names one location — 21425 Spring Street, Building D, Fairchild Hall, Union Grove — and the programme has operated from more than one site historically.
  3. 3Understand what the programme asks of you. It is goal-based: residents work towards permanent housing, employment and job training, education, healthcare and mental healthcare, or substance use recovery.
  4. 4Expect to contribute. WDVA states residents maintain shared spaces and volunteer locally, and that saving and earning money during the programme is encouraged.
  5. 5If you have a family, raise that at the first call — spouses and children cannot live at the site, but staff work to help veteran families access housing and other resources.
  6. 6Ask what transport is available. WDVA lists transportation assistance among the amenities, but qualifies it as available rather than promised to each resident.

No renewal
Once granted it does not need renewing.
CorrectionThis is not emergency shelter and it is not a housing subsidy. It is a residential programme with goals attached, and a veteran who needs a bed tonight should say so on the call rather than wait for an application.
Worth knowingWDVA describes it as reaching veterans who are at risk of becoming homeless, not only those already homeless. Asking early is not premature.
Known gapNo discharge standard, no residency period, no length of stay and no charge is published on the page, and Wisconsin’s statute site is unreachable from here. Ask the site for the current admission criteria.
