Overview
Supporting Veterans Through Housing Stability
Veterans 1st of NEW provides affordable, supportive housing tailored for veterans in Northeast Wisconsin. Their village-style community features 21 tiny homes—including 400 sq. ft. cottages and larger transitional homes—designed to create a safe space where vets can rebuild their lives.
Comprehensive Services to Promote Independence
Residents receive wraparound support, collaborating with the VA Clinic, Vet Center, and local employment agencies to ensure access to healthcare, job training, and essential resources. Studies show 85–90% of supportive housing residents remain stably housed after one year, highlighting the success of this model.
Addressing a Critical Community Need
With over 39,000 residents in Brown County needing affordable housing—including around 5,000 veterans—Veterans 1st of NEW fills a vital gap. Their efforts improve veterans’ well-being, reduce reliance on emergency medical care, and foster lasting self-sufficiency.
