WI Recovery Voucher Grant Program

Background

Safe and stable housing is fundamental to helping people in recovery have more successful long-term outcomes and enabling providers to most effectively serve them. Recognizing this, DHS created the RV program, using a portion of the money received from settlements with opioid manufactures and distributors, to provide an opportunity for people who have been diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD) to move into safe interim housing who otherwise would struggle to find housing due to limited housing options, financial or other barriers. DEHCR administers the program on behalf of DHS.

DEHCR has required that participants in the program be entered into HMIS.  Grantees must follow all applicable HMIS Policies and Procedures.

Enrollments for each participant along with the following RV program specific questions:
