Bravo Zulu House
Did you know that 22 Veterans commit suicide in this country every day . . . mostly due to PTSD and addiction? That is why Eden Prairie Noon Rotary Club (EPNR) has joined the “War Against PTSD” by supporting Bravo Zulu House – the FIRST and ONLY all-Veteran sober living facility in the U.S. focusing on PTSD therapy being built in Winnebago, MN. In addition to PTSD therapy, Bravo Zulu House will offer private rooms, individualized spiritual counseling, hydroponic farming and dog therapy.
Eden Prairie Noon Rotary took the lead to purchase a wheelchair lift so that no Veteran is turned away because of a handicap that was very likely caused by their service. In addition to a $10,000 donation from EPNR, the funding includes donations from 5 other Rotary Clubs, 4 individuals and a Rotary Foundation District Grant.
The Grand Opening Ceremony for the Bravo Zulu House was on May 28, 2025. Rotarians from our club and other clubs were present to celebrate!

Onward House
October 2024
There are young adults in our community who don’t have a safe place to sleep at night. They are couch-surfing, living in cars and staying in unsafe places. They are trying to hide their homelessness. But Onward sees them. And Onward is responding by creating safe, affordable, transitional, supportive housing in the southwest suburbs. No one else is doing this for this segment of the market — single adults age18 - 24 who do not have children.
