frequently asked questions
Veterans Community Project (VCP) has the long-term goal of preventing and ending Veteran homelessness across the nation.
How will VCP impact the city and surrounding neighborhood?
VCP's new campus will not only provide critical housing resources but will:
• Beautify a once blighted area, increasing property values of surrounding homes and businesses
• Provide ongoing opportunities for community volunteerism
• Strengthen Milwaukee’s social services sector
• Become a source of civic pride
Do the Veterans own their tiny home? Do they pay rent?
The Veterans do not own their homes; however, the tiny house furniture and household items become their personal property and go with the Veteran when they are ready to transition to permanent housing. Veterans do not pay rent or utilities while living in VCP Village; their investment in the program is their investment in themselves.
