Dane County Housing Support
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF)
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) offers a wide range of supportive services to veteran households with limited incomes, including housing stability services and both VA and non-VA services that support family well-being. Housing stability includes preventing the loss of current housing and, when needed, finding alternate housing that is both safe and affordable.
Reducing School Mobility
This program offers intensive housing services to families who have children in 5th grade or below enrolled in Leopold, Mendota, Lake View, Gompers, Sun Prairie School District, or Lindbergh schools in Madison. Services may include developing an individualized housing plan and short-term financial assistance with issues affecting families’ housing stability.
Early Childhood Zones (ECZ)
The ECZ program offers intensive, limited-term housing services to families enrolled in the home visitor program in Madison’s Leopold and Northside neighborhoods.
These services may include: short-term rent assistance, developing an individualized housing stability plan, information and referral, and helping to remedy any issues that prevent families from securing stable housing.
Our caseworkers strive to build strong, working relationships to help each family achieve their goals. To be eligible, a family must be currently enrolled in a ECZ home visiting program and must be referred for housing services by one of the initiative’s home-visiting programs.
