Many Wisconsin military veterans may soon end up homeless.
Again.
I'm Steven Potter, a reporter with PBS Wisconsin news.
Two facilities that provide housing for
dozens of Wisconsin's homeless veterans
are now set to close at the end of September
due to a lack of state funding.
Funding for those facilities, like this one in Chippewa Falls
and another one in Green Bay, came from something
called the Veterans Housing and Recovery Program.
Officials say they want to find alternative
housing for the veterans as soon as possible,
but nothing is guaranteed.
One option for these veterans is to seek help
through other housing initiatives.
But other housing initiatives are often limited
and can have long waitlists.
And such initiatives don't provide assistance
for the unique and sensitive needs of veterans.
