Disabled veterans in the Dane County area cannot compete with landlords who require a “three-times” rent agreement also known as “gentrification.” When totally and permanently veterans listed as “individually unemployable” seek work opportunities, those who view military service as racist, predominantly those who preach critical race theory in management and human resources, run the veteran off the job.

The problem disabled veterans face is the inability to keep up with gentrification who become HUD-VASH statistics. What can be done?

Why should a disabled veteran who could afford their apartment who no longer be required to live amongst crack dealers, those who try to rewrite philosophy with “violent protest”, or worse yet graffiti the Wisconsin Veterans Museum?

Dane County, mainly in Madison, has an anti-veteran problem. I propose a voucher system that allows the disabled veteran a cap and a requirement of 20 percent HUD-VASH tenancy who then will open opportunities for homeless veterans who also qualify for more opportunities other than waitlists.

Or better yet, establish a recruiting model that transitions disabled veterans through remote proctored instruction, which will qualify the individual with a noncredit option, then utilize the research for receiving HUD-VASH grants that could potentially provide the landlord or academic institution with economic stimulus. I suggest renovating the downtown Madison College campus into a HUD-VASH readjustment and rehabilitation transition center allowing potential candidates access to Madison College classes on-site.

The operation could raise $2.5 million for renovation capital, then accept tenants on a first-come educational eligibility opportunity to sell and provide data regarding the needs of those afflicted. Once a pilot fully matures the building’s depreciation, then the pilot can renovate unused buildings for harnessing creativity with those who manage trauma-informed symptoms like LightFIghter Syndrome®.

By focusing on the needs of disabled veterans who are individually unemployable, a corporate vendor could potentially study, through focus groups, why disabled veterans struggle in society and how to implement welcoming environments, which could potentially stimulate the veteran hiring sector, provide administrative short-term jobs and track outcomes with tenant qualitative analysis.

By focusing on the housing needs of those who suffered injuries in service, the workplace can grow into a place where lost time and shift coverage could easily be filled on a last-minute basis as a part of a rent-free living experience.

By having unemployable veteran work for rent voucher as a rent offset, the Dane County rental community could potentially resolve the ongoing issue with veteran homelessness by reconnecting individuals with their learning minds first in a noncredit capacity, then grow into a creative intelligence mindset performing small tasks and duties that usually comprise $18-$20 per hour.

By divesting in vouchers, a business could own an apartment complex, decrease staff, gain access to block grants and run a lean operation with disabled veteran independent interns who at least receive at the minimum pride in workmanship. The solution is simple. Hire individually unemployable veteran quid pro quo for rent and then watch the workplace thrive in their absence.

No veteran is hopeless and could have an opportunity to take a troublemaker angry at the world and convert them into becoming employable again.
