We didn't just identify a critical gap in Veteran healthcare—westarted a movement tofill it.
Our first house is more than a facility; it’s apioneeringsolution, the first men’s post-treatment residence specializing in co-occurring PTSD. It stands as a powerful "Well Done" (Bravo Zulu) to the men who served and found a new beginning here.
What sets Bravo Zulu House apart is its comprehensive approach to recovery. This Veterans-only facility provides a nurturing, home-like setting where residents gain strength through brotherhood. It integrates formal therapies and counseling with dog therapy, addressing the deep-seated wounds of war.
Same Mission - Different Battlefield
Women represent thefastest-growing segmentof the Veteran population, yet they often return home to feel alone with no where to turn, especially those with addiction and co-occurring PTSD. They are silently fighting invisible battles, navigating complex trauma.

Funding Needed to Build a Place to Restore our Women Veterans
We are raising funds to build America's First All-Military Sober Home for Women Veterans with PTSD.
This is more than a house; it’s a sanctuary and a launchpad for recovery. We will provide:
Veterans Only: A shared environment that fosters camaraderie and trust.
Sober Living: A safe, structured, and substance-free environment critical for lasting recovery.
Specialized PTSD Treatment: Trauma-informed care and addiction therapy tailored to the unique challenges of women who have served.
We’re raising $2 million to do the following:
ADA Compliant Homewith lift and wheelchair accessible rooms
Private rooms with bathrooms
Commons areas that promote camaraderie, community and healing
At Bravo Zulu House, recovery is built on structure, accountability, and meaningful connection. Through our partnership withK9s for Warriors, we are proud to integrate their renowned Station Dog program directly into our Dog Therapy Program at our Winnebago, Minnesota home.
K9s for Warriors and Bravo Zulu House share a common purpose:
SAVING VETERAN LIVES.
Specially trained to navigate high-stress environments, these Station Dogs serve as dedicated therapy dogs for our resident Veterans. Operating as constant companions on site, they provide unconditional emotional support, alleviate symptoms of PTSD, and help break down the invisible barriers that so often accompany trauma and addiction recovery.
Leading this initiative on the ground isElizabeth Westphal, Head of the Dog Therapy Program in Winnebago. Under Elizabeth’s guidance, our dog therapy programming seamlessly pairs daily care, routine, and structured interaction with the restorative power of animal companionship. Her leadership ensures that each resident Veteran fully benefits from the calming presence and comfort our Station Dogs bring to the house, helping residents rebuild trust, regain purpose, and find stability in their recovery journey.
