A Stable Place to Live. A Fresh Start to Build From.
For many veterans, finding affordable housing can become one more battle after military service.
Rising rent, utility costs, limited housing availability, and income requirements can make securing a traditional apartment difficult. Additionally, veterans transitioning from homelessness, temporary housing, hospitalization, treatment programs, or other unstable living situations may need somewhere they can move into without waiting months for permanent housing.
Broughton’s Refuge provides affordable, community-style housing designed to give veterans a safe and dependable place to call home while maintaining their independence.
When Finding Housing Becomes the Next Challenge
Veterans can face housing challenges for many different reasons. Some are living on a fixed income, while others are rebuilding after a major life transition. Still others simply need an affordable alternative to living alone.
Unfortunately, getting approved for an apartment often means paying an application fee, security deposit, first month’s rent, utility deposits, furniture costs, and other expenses before ever moving in.
At Broughton’s Refuge, we offer a simpler housing option.
Our furnished homes allow eligible veterans to move into an established residence without taking on many of the expenses associated with setting up an apartment from scratch.
Affordable Community Living Without Giving Up Independence
Community-style housing provides an opportunity to lower the cost of living while still having a place to call home.
Depending on availability, Broughton’s Refuge offers shared and private room options. Residents have their own designated living space while sharing common areas of the home.
More importantly, our housing is designed for individuals who are able to live independently. Residents can maintain their routines, responsibilities, appointments, employment, and community connections while having a stable home base.
More Included. Fewer Monthly Bills.
Affordable rent is only part of the equation. Household expenses can quickly turn an inexpensive apartment into something that’s difficult to maintain.
For that reason, many everyday necessities are included with our housing:
- Furnished, move-in-ready accommodations
- Utilities included
- Wi-Fi access
- Washer and dryer access
- Kitchen access
- Comfortable shared common areas
- Shared and private room options, based on availability
- Convenient access to public transportation
- Grocery stores, shopping, and everyday necessities nearby
As a result, residents can avoid managing several separate household bills each month.
Conveniently Located in Decatur, GA
Transportation can be another major concern, particularly for veterans who don’t have reliable access to a vehicle.
Broughton’s Refuge is conveniently located near public transportation and everyday community resources. Therefore, residents can more easily reach grocery stores, medical appointments, employment opportunities, shopping, and other essential services.
Having those resources nearby helps make independent living more practical.
A Home Environment — Not an Institution
Starting over shouldn’t mean feeling like you’ve lost your independence.
Broughton’s Refuge offers a residential, community-style environment where veterans live in a real home and share common spaces with other residents. Instead of an institutional atmosphere, our goal is to provide simple, safe, quality housing at an affordable rate.
For some veterans, this can provide the stability needed while determining their next step. For others, community living may simply be a practical long-term housing solution.
Either way, having a dependable address and a comfortable place to return to each day can create an important foundation for moving forward.
We Also Work With Veteran Referral Partners
Finding appropriate housing can be challenging for professionals helping veterans prepare for discharge or transition into the community.
That’s why Broughton’s Refuge welcomes referrals from VA social workers, case managers, discharge planners, veteran service organizations, nonprofits, hospitals, treatment programs, and community partners.
If you’re assisting a veteran who needs housing, send us a referral with basic information about their needs, income, desired move-in date, and preferred accommodations. Our team can review the referral and determine whether we have an appropriate housing option available.
