What is VHRP?The Veterans Housing and Recovery Program (VHRP) provides temporary housing, training, and supportive services to military Veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in order to help them obtain permanent housing.
The goal of VHRP is to help Veterans achieve stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination that will enable them to reintegrate back to the community.
Our programs are located in Chippewa Falls, Green Bay, King, and Union Grove.
Who does VHRP Serve?Any Veteran of the U.S. active Armed Forces regardless of length of service. The USDVA assists in final determination of eligibility. VHRP is not able to accept a Veteran who has a dishonorable discharge.
While spouses and children are not eligible for this program, our staff will assist a Veteran’s family in trying to obtain adequate housing or other needs while the Veteran is in the program.
What Services are Provided?VHRP offers stable, secure, and safe housing to Veterans while they receive training and services to become stably housed. VHRP staff will work with residents on:
Permanent Housing
Employment Assistance
Education & Job Training
Healthcare & Mental Health Services
Substance Abuse Recovery Support
Claims & Benefits Assistance
Veterans may stay at a VHRP for up to 24 months, however many complete the program in 6 to 10 months.
What Can Veterans Expect?Program staff are highly trained professionals who are dedicated to serving Veterans and providing ongoing support.
VHRP offers many amenities to assist in daily living such as a meal plan, activity room, laundry, recreational activities, access to computers, and assistance with transportation.
Veterans enrolled in VHRP build a sense of community and restore pride and confidence by working together to maintain the common living areas they reside in and volunteering their time in the local community.
Residents are encouraged to earn and save money while in the program in order to obtain permanent housing after graduation.
