MADISON — The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) recently announced the opening of applications for the latest round of funding from the Infrastructure Access, Restore Main Street, and Vacancy-to-Vitality competitive loan programs. All three programs were developed from the historic state funding signed into law by Gov. Evers in 2023 and funded by $525 million in the biennial budget, the largest investment in housing in state history. 

Developers and governmental units are invited to apply for all funding opportunities by the deadline on Friday, May 16 at 11:59 p.m. CDT. To start an application, interested parties must complete a Procorem WorkCenter Request Form for each project and resource on WHEDA’s website and submit it to WHEDA following the instructions provided. For example, if funding is requested for a project in Dane County and another in Brown County, two WorkCenter request forms are required. If the project seeks Infrastructure Access and Vacancy-to-Vitality funding in both Dane County and Brown County, four WorkCenter requests are required. 

WHEDA is currently accepting and reviewing Procorem WorkCenter Request Forms. More information about each program is available on WHEDA’s website: www.wheda.com
