The College Avenue Apartments is a supportive permanent housing program for homeless and low-income veterans. The availability of affordable, appropriate housing for homeless and low-income veterans with physical, mental, emotional and substance abuse issues, who may require continuous supportive services, is extremely limited in Southeastern Wisconsin. This project, initiated in 2002 and completed in March 2003, provides eight supportive permanent housing units to veterans, two of which are handicap accesible, and an additional 26 units of affordable housing for the community.

Under an individualized approach, permanent housing is coupled with case management services, medication management, socialization skills, relapse prevention support, crisis intervention, substance abuse & mental/behavioral health couseling, recreation therapy, daily living assistance, financial planning services, veterans benefits advocacy, and education & employment training.

Residents are assigned a case manager and must comply with guidelines as established with their case manager while commiting to a drug and alcohol-free life
