Rental assistance may be available to limited or fixed-income veterans in Wisconsin through the recently announced Veterans Rental Assistance Program (VRAP).
Funds were made available as an initiative by Governor Tony Evers. His administration is committed to ensuring that our heroes are able to stay safely in their homes and avoid homelessness.
The Veterans Rental Assistance Program (VRAP) provides rental assistance for veterans who are struggling because of their limited or fixed incomes that have not kept pace with record increases in energy and housing costs. The VRAP also places a high priority on providing the much-needed assistance necessary to result in long-term housing/economic stability for those who are being served.
