(WTAQ-WLUK) — A nonprofit organization serving Northeast Wisconsin residents has received federal funds to assist area homeowners.
Officials announced Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded Newcap, Inc. a $323,263 grant to launch a revolving loan program for homeowners.
Homeowners in Florence, Forest, Langlade, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, Oneida, Shawano and Vilas counties, as well as in six Tribal nations, can take part in the program.
“These projects are just a few of many examples of how the Rural Partners Network has helped strengthen community ties so underserved rural communities and families in Wisconsin can access the resources they need now and into the future,” said USDA Rural Development Wisconsin State Director Julie Lassa said in a news release. “These projects will help keep rural and Tribal communities in Wisconsin thriving for generations to come.”
Also known as Northeast Wisconsin Community Action Program, Newcap is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1965. Fully operational in 10 counties and covering nearly 15,000 square miles, Newcap has the largest physical footprint of any community action agency in Wisconsin.
