Helping People Realize Their Dreams

Northcott Neighborhood House

The Northcott Neighborhood House has dedicated itself to filling gaps in the Milwaukee workforce. By participating in the construction of new developments in their community, students have an opportunity to further their education and develop a unique set of skills in hopes of finding a well-paying job.

Wisconsin is known for its long, cold and snowy winters. For our neighbors that are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, the falling leaves and shorter days become a time of real worry. The best solution to combat the dangers of the winter season is permanent housing, an amenity which is difficult to access and unaffordable for many.

The mobile office fueled WHEDA’s transition into the future and provided a legacy that will not likely be forgotten.

WHFA (Wisconsin Housing Finance Authority), now WHEDA (Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority), was established in 1972. Included are fifty highlights about the Authority to celebrate WHEDA’s 50th Anniversary. Here’s to fifty more years!
