The need: greater disparities exist. 

Although veterans have access to housing resources, such as loans through the Veterans Association (VA), HUD programs like Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH), among others, studies have shown that ex-service members have long been at a greater risk of homelessness than the general population. Similarly, people with disabilities have a harder time finding housing. The pool of units and available homes with accessible features is significantly smaller than the general housing stock. If a person’s disability impedes their ability to work for a living wage, inadequate Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may not be enough to make ends meet regarding housing. As a result, disabled renters are “priced out” of housing at rates higher than that of the general population.

Operation home: Veteran rental units

UHI’s scattered-site veteran rental units across Memphis and Shelby County offer affordable, quality homes for veterans and military families seeking transitional housing. These two- and one-bedroom units are wheelchair accessible and semi-furnished, ensuring a comfortable and safe living environment for those who have served our country.

Rental program for individuals with disabilities

Through our community partnerships, UHI provides rental homes with essential features and services tailored to the unique needs of seniors and adults with disabilities. These homes offer in-home personal care services, fall prevention features and safety installations to create a secure environment that promotes independent living. 

These programs prioritize affordability, accessibility and comfort to empower individuals and families in need of quality housing. To learn more and get involved, click here or contact Valerie Peterson at vpeterson@uhinc.org.
