Housing Resource Lists

Urban Triage is excited to roll out our Housing Resource List, which replaces the prior Vacancy List offered by Catholic Charities. The List is not all-inclusive; it is a resource for searching for housing options. Please print the PDFs below or use our online search option, which is located here. 

Many apartments recorded on our Housing Resource List are within the Fair Market Rates (FMR) for Dane County, WI. HUD established these rates to identify affordable housing options. 

Please note that Urban Triage and our Housing Navigation Specialists are not responsible for the conditions, terms of leases, or quality of management services of the housing units listed. You are responsible for inspecting and obtaining information about the housing and management services you are interested in. Please be aware that most units listed here are advertisements from the Internet and other online sources.

Below are the housing resources by bedroom:

0-1 Bedrooms

2-3 Bedrooms

4+ Bedrooms

Housing Navigation Specialists 

Urban Triage's Housing Navigation Specialists are responsible for leading our Housing Navigation Services at the Beacon Day Shelter. In collaboration with Dane County, we strive to offer compassionate, caring, and culturally sensitive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, which HUD defines as residing on the streets, in their cars, or a shelter.

Our main focus is on individual needs, and we prioritize individuals with severe service requirements for the most intensive interventions. We believe that the first step towards helping an unhoused individual is providing them with stable housing. Once they have a roof over their heads, we can address other issues.

One-on-one Housing Navigation services are only available to unhoused individuals (i.e., those in shelters or outdoors) who are not currently enrolled in any other case management or outreach program providing navigation services.

To reach our Housing Navigation Specialists, email them at housingnavigation@urbantriage.org, or call them at (608) 299-4128, or visit the Beacon during the walk-in hours listed below. FYI, to enter the Beacon Day Shelter, where our Housing Navigation Specialists are located, you must register with the Beacon Day Shelter upon entering the building. The Beacon Day Shelter does not allow children to be on the premises. If the conditions above don't work for you, please email our Specialists to make an appointment outside of the Beacon hours.
