Homeless To Independence Inc. is a 501©3 non-profit organization. We do NOT receive any  government grant funding what-so-ever to pay bills for anyone in any situation. We do not give away money. We do not give out loans against any money.

This ministry is supported with generous financial donations that are used to help keep us functioning. Our purpose is to help supply individuals and families with personal needs such as food, toiletries, clothing, household items, furniture and baby/adult diapers/wipes both locally and to areas effected by disasters. At this time, we do not offer any shelter or transitional housing services. Again, we DO NOT pay any bills. We DO NOT pay any rents or mortgages.

If you are actually homeless, or about to be homeless or need emergency assistance of any kind, DIAL “211” from a land-line telephone. This will not work from a cell telephone.

In 2008, the Milwaukee chapter of Veterans for Peace began a small, weekly outreach program to look for
homeless veterans in Milwaukee and see if we could help. We never leave a man or woman behind in the field;
and we never should at home.
By Bill Christofferson at UppityWisconsin

The good news — and the bad news — is that the program has grown by leaps and bounds. That’s bad news
because there are far too many homeless vets on the streets, we’ve found — at least several hundred. It’s good
news that people have been generous enough to allow us to respond to their needs.

Our Homeless Veterans Initiative has grown from a two-hour a week outreach program to one that operates a
food pantry, feeds more than 100 veterans a week, and operates a house providing temporary shelter for five
homeless vets.

Besides the food and housing programs, the initiative continues to search out vets on the streets, work with
them to get the help and benefits they are entitled to, and link them to transportation, educational opportunities
and jobs in some cases.

The program does it all on a shoestring, mostly funded by small donations from friends and from collections we
do at community events around the city. This year, some small grants — from family foundations, the Forest
County Potawatomi, Outpost Natural Foods, businesses and others — have supplemented those individual
donations.

It was a $50,000 operation this year, with almost every dollar going directly to help veterans in need. Next year,
at the rate the need is growing, we expect we will need $65,000 to continue.

I play a minor role in the initiative as a board member. But two Veterans for Peace members spent most of their
waking moments working in the program. They do it because we don’t leave our wounded behind.

Please help if you can. It’s close to home, a program where we can see results every day, and where the need
unfortunately continues to be great. Here are some links:
