Bravo Zulu House

About Bravo Zulu House

Bravo Zulu House is a Minnesota sober living operator providing certified veteran-focused recovery housing based in Winnebago.

A Veteran-Focused Recovery Housing Provider

Bravo Zulu House was founded to serve a population most sober living operators in Minnesota do not target specifically: military veterans managing post-traumatic stress disorder alongside substance use recovery. The organization has drawn regional and national media attention as one of the first programs of its kind in the country.

Certification and Public Standing

Bravo Zulu House is certified through the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes. Certification in Minnesota is voluntary, and the organization's decision to carry it commits its housing to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules, and outside complaint review, the standards set out in the state's MASH certification guide.

A Statewide and National Reach

Although based in Winnebago, in Faribault County, Bravo Zulu House draws veteran residents from across Minnesota and beyond, since dedicated PTSD-focused sober housing for veterans is rare nationally. The organization has raised funds toward a second residence for women veterans with PTSD, planned to open in 2027.

Reaching Bravo Zulu House

Applications for Bravo Zulu House go through the organization directly. The questions worth asking at the organizational level include how referrals from the VA or other veteran services are handled, what the program's funding and fee structure look like, and how the planned women's residence will operate once it opens.
