Homes for Veterans offers landlords the opportunity to confidently open the door to Veterans currently experiencing homelessness. Significant resources have been invested in Minnesota’s efforts to end Veteran homelessness, and providers are working together to find homes for Veterans, but a critical link to housing process is landlords in the community.
If you are a landlord wanting to provide a home to a hero, MDVA can offer you the support, financial incentive, and risk protection that makes doing the right thing the smartest thing. Any landlord in Minnesota can be eligible. In addition to making a positive difference in the lives of local Veterans, partnering with Homes for Veterans provides landlords security and peace of mind.
Veterans in the program receive support in the form of monetary rental assistance, case management, and supportive services. In short, this program helps those who have served our country find and secure the housing they need.
