State Shelter Subsidy Grant Program
The State Shelter Subsidy Grant Program (SSSG) provides up to 50% of an emergency shelter or voucher program's annual operating budget. These funds are available to programs with additional funding needs due to renovation/expansion of an existing shelter facility, the development of an existing building into a shelter facility, the expansion (or development) of shelter services or the inability of a shelter program to obtain adequate funding to continue an existing level of service. Estimates of the homeless population in Wisconsin range from 29,000 to 34,000. Please see the SSSG website: https://doa.wi.gov/Pages/LocalGovtsGrants/SSSGMainPage.aspx

Only generic emergency facility or voucher programs are eligible. Individuals and families who are homeless are eligible for shelter and related services.
