Veterans 1st started in 2022 when Co-Founder Gail Nohr was working at the Brown County Veterans Service Office taking many calls a day from veterans in need of housing and supportive services. Co-founder Kim Nohr recently retired as a Carpenter/Home Builder and he joined her as the Project Manager getting all the local Unions to join in for construction of the Veterans 1st Tiny Homes Village.
Veterans 1st Village will help Northeast Wisconsin veterans by providing them with Rapid Rehousing and supportive services, followed by the opportunity to move into Affordable Housing after completing counseling, job training, and job placement. We will give our area veterans a place to call home with wrap-around services to help them succeed with a purpose and a desire to become self-sufficient. There is currently a 480-unit shortage of affordable housing units for Veterans in Brown County and over 80 veterans have been living in homeless shelters this season. The situation will continue to get worse if we do not provide housing like our Veterans Village.
