FEATURED EVENT

VetsCAN Forum on Zoom

January 15, 3-4:30 p.m. on Zoom

 

Heat And Housing For Heroes

Our guest will be Noel Ayala, Veteran Services Advocate with Heat And Housing For Heroes, the local non-profit that has provided nearly $3 million in energy assistance to Veterans in Wisconsin.

 

Next to health challenges and limited incomes, the principle cause of homelessness in Veterans is their inability to pay for the escalating costs to keep their heat and power on. The Heat And Housing For Heroes Campaign is uniquely designed to avert life-threatening energy-related emergencies by helping struggling Veterans keep their heat and power on; while also providing adequate resource connections with other State, County, and Veteran services for optimal, long-term household stability.
