(WTAQ-WLUK) — Housing projects for low- and moderate-income households across the state are getting a boost, including one in Brown County.
The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) and Wisconsin’s Small Cities CDBG Program is awarding $16 million to seven regions.
They are:
- Northeast Housing Region, Brown County, $1.5 million
- Northwest Housing Region, Douglas County, $1 million
- Northwoods Housing Region, Langlade County, $3 million
- Central Housing Region, Juneau County, $2.5 million
- Southern Housing Region, Columbia County, $2 million
- Southwest Housing Region, La Crosse County, $3.5 million
- West Central Housing Region, Chippewa County, $2.5 million
Wisconsin receives CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and distributes those funds toward public facility, housing, and economic development projects that benefit individuals with low and moderate incomes.
These regional housing programs provide zero percent interest and deferred payment loans to low- and moderate-income homeowners to perform essential home repairs. Eligible households may also receive funds for down payment assistance when purchasing a home.
