Milwaukee Homeless Veterans Initiative

Listed by its former name, Milwaukee Homeless Veterans Initiative, the organization identifies on its official website as Wisconsin Homeless Veterans Initiative (WHVI). Founded in 2008, it supports homeless and at-risk veterans and their families through programs intended to fill gaps in existing services across southeastern Wisconsin.

Its work includes community outreach and education, connections to community resources and social services, and help securing VA benefits for veterans who need medical care. WHVI also operates an emergency food program for veterans and veteran families facing short-term crises, including food assistance and welcome baskets with food and cleaning supplies for veterans moving into new living spaces.
