Welcome to the Housing Revolution in Wisconsin!
Wisconsin is facing a housing crisis, but we’re not standing still. The WRA successfully advocated for a historic $525 million investment for initiatives to help increase workforce and senior housing inventory. With demand far outpacing supply for more than a decade, this investment marks a pivotal moment in our state’s history.
These aren’t just initiatives on paper; they’re the backbone of a brighter housing future for all Wisconsinites. From streamlining development approvals to empowering local communities, these laws are paving the way for change.
The loan programs focus on new construction, innovation, preserving and improving what we already have.
Explore the Loan Programs:
As the administrator of the loan programs, the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) has already released three of the four programs:
- Infrastructure Access Loan Program
- Restore Main Street Loan Program
- Vacancy-to-Vitality Loan Program
- More Like Home™ Repair and Renew Loan Program
Wisconsin isn’t just building houses; it’s building communities.
