Developers

WHEDA offers a variety of specialized programs specifically for developers. From short-term financing to tax credits to bond financing – WHEDA is a one-stop-shop for multifamily housing development.

In addition to our multifamily lending programs, the WHEDA Development Training Program is designed for anyone with a vested interest in the development of affordable multifamily rental housing for families, seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Getting Started

Knowing how to start a development project can be difficult. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Fill out the inquiry form below to learn about WHEDA's commercial lending products and other ways you may be able to finance your project.
2. Review our Commercial Lending Products as well as our Tax Credit Programs to learn how WHEDA can help finance your development.
3. Are you looking to finance an existing multifamily property? A capital needs assessment identifies and quantifies a building's current physical condition and future physical and financial needs. Find a provider and prepare according to the guidelines.
4. You will complete an application for a loan and send it to WHEDA, along with the application fee, and/or apply for one of the tax credit programs.
