Voucher Administration
The WHEDA Voucher Program helps families with low to extremely low incomes rent decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing of their choice.
For the foreseeable future, WHEDA will not be issuing Tenant-Based Housing Choice Vouchers due to funding shortfall. Please check back for updates as the situation changes. Project-Based Vouchers will continue to be issued for Project-Based properties located in Hartford, Manitowoc, Chilton and Oconto.
Effective April 8, 2025, WHEDA is closing all Tenant-Based Housing Choice Voucher waiting lists and will not be accepting new applications at this time. Exceptions will be made for VASH voucher referrals and applications for the Project-Based properties located in Hartford, Manitowoc, Chilton and Oconto. Project-Based Voucher assistance is not eligible for moves or portability and is only offered at the leasing property.
- Emergency Housing Vouchers
Effective September 30th, 2023, WHEDA will no longer be accepting service fee requests or new referrals for the Emergency Housing Voucher Program.

- the Emergency Housing Voucher holder surrenders their voucher or assistance is terminated, or
- the Emergency Housing Voucher expires without the family signing a lease
