The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) was created in 1972 by the Wisconsin Legislature as an independent authority, not a state agency. As a lender, WHEDA has over $3 billion in assets.

WHEDA works closely with lenders, developers, local government, nonprofits, community groups and others to implement its low-cost financing programs. We provide low-cost, fixed interest rate mortgages to low- and moderate-income individuals and families to purchase their first home. We also work with developers to finance affordable rental housing, and support economic development and agriculture through our small business guarantee programs.

WHEDA programs fundamentally do not rely on tax dollars. Instead, proceeds from the sale of revenue bonds allow us to fund financing programs that help stimulate affordable housing and economic development throughout the state.

Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority offers innovative products and services in partnership with others to link Wisconsin residents and communities with affordable housing and economic development opportunities.
