ABOUT WHEDA FOUNDATION HOUSING GRANT PROGRAM

The Housing Grant Program (HGP) is a statewide initiative that provides capital funding to develop and improve housing and shelters for Wisconsin's most vulnerable residents. Established in 1985 in response to reductions in federal housing and shelter funding, the program helps ensure critical housing resources remain available for communities across the state. Since its inception, the WHEDA Foundation has awarded almost $35 million for capital improvements to emergency and transitional housing facilities.
