MADISON – Wisconsin organizations that provide emergency shelter, transitional residences and extremely low-income housing are encouraged to apply for grants from the WHEDA Foundation.
Administered by the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, the WHEDA Foundation grants improve housing for community members with complex challenges such as developmental disabilities, domestic abuse, incomes at or below 30 percent of the area median income, youth homelessness and chronic mental illness.
“Throughout Wisconsin, community organizations play an essential role in providing safe, affordable housing for people in desperate need of a place to live,” said Joaquín Altoro, WHEDA CEO.
“This year marks the 36th year the WHEDA Foundation has provided financial support to address these unmet housing needs in our communities.
The annual housing grant program competition is funded entirely by WHEDA operations and uses no state tax dollars.
