MADISON – A $5.4 million Project Rental Assistance 811 grant to the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority will help fund the development of integrated, supportive rental housing for low-income homeless people with disabilities.
The grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will be paired with projects that have been awarded federal or state tax credits. In conjunction with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, this funding will connect tenants with various supportive services, such as health care, transportation, education and employment services. WHEDA anticipates the $5,386,056 HUD grant will create an additional 132 units.
“These HUD funds are critical in helping some of Wisconsin’s most vulnerable residents access safe, affordable housing to support their success,” said WHEDA CEO
