FACT: Heat is a NECESSITY in Wisconsin, not an unaffordable luxury!
Wisconsin is home to over 413,000 veterans, 16,000 of which are unemployed and 58,000 are disabled.
Veterans Served by Heat And Housing For Heroes:
Total Vets served in 2022: 10,796 Total Vets served in 2023: 12,955 Total Vets served in 2024: 6,869*
*Reflective of a major loss of funding.
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.
Of the 413,000 Veterans in Wisconsin, about 200,000 of those Veterans served during WWII, Korea and the Vietnam Wars.
