Helping People Realize Their Dreams

A Red Cliff Renewal

Upon completion of the Red Cliff Housing Development Phase I in 2008, the wait list in the Town of Russell fell dramatically. In the face of overwhelming odds, WHEDA and the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa provided a space for families to permanently call “home.”

As of 2013, veterans comprised 6% of the total Wisconsin demographic, but nearly 10% of its homeless population. Throughout the United States, veterans are twice as likely to be trapped in cycles of poverty and homelessness.

While WHEDA strives to promote affordable housing in Wisconsin, we realize that a house is more than just a place to live. Memories are made, countless “firsts” are experienced, and these houses become homes embedded into the nostalgia of Wisconsin families.

In honor of National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, WHEDA is telling the story of Noah House of Waukesha; a large single-family residence for Alcohol and Other Drug Addicted (AODA) juveniles established in 1982.
