Housing & Homelessness

Emergency shelter, housing stabilization, and reintegration support.

Housing instability in Wyoming often intersects with eviction, debt, and — for veterans — VA benefits access. The organizations here provide emergency shelter, rapid rehousing assistance, and transitional housing, with specific programs for veteran households facing a housing crisis.

Operates transitional living facilities including Freedom Hall (Sheridan) and Booth Hall (Gillette, adult re-entry), alongside SSVF and HVRP programs for veterans.

Eligibility, how to apply, contact info
Who qualifies

Veterans and individuals in housing crisis or transitioning from incarceration in Wyoming, Montana, and Western South Dakota; specific program eligibility (SSVF, HVRP, transitional housing, adult re-entry) varies by service.

How to get help

VOA Northern Rockies operates multiple distinct programs under one organization — the entry point depends on which service you need. For veteran housing/financial crisis help, call 1.844.4.VOA.Vet (see the SSVF and HVRP entries in the Veterans category for details). For transitional living facilities like Freedom Hall (Sheridan) or the Booth Hall adult re-entry program (Gillette), contact VOA Northern Rockies directly to ask about current bed availability and intake requirements, since these facilities are not self-service — referrals often come through case managers, corrections, or VA contacts. General inquiries can go through the main office in Sheridan.

Contact

Families with children under 18 should ask specifically about the Journey Center's Destination Home program (90-day stay) and should contact a case manager in advance.
