Supportive Housing for Veteran Families

Shelter Care Ministries no longer takes applications for its veteran housing program. All veteran families who are homeless and interested in this housing program must contact the Single Point of Entry at 844-710-6919 or visit their office at 612 N. Church Street., Rockford, IL 61103.

Shelter Care was awarded a grant to house families with a Veteran head of household, who has a disability and is experiencing homelessness.  Shelter Care has also been the past recipient of the Veteran Scratch-off Lottery grant which helps Veterans pay bills associated with housing to prevent homelessness or end an episode of homelessness quickly.

For more information about this program, call 815-964-5520.

Men and women entering the Armed Forces do so under the following agreements: they raise their hands and swear to defend the Constitution of the United States and defend the freedoms stated in our founding documents. The men and women in the military serve with valor, courage and honor. For our part, those of us in the civilian community, we promise to support the Veteran and their families throughout their enlistment and after they separate from the military and for the remainder of their lives.
