Affordable housing means stronger communities. We help revitalize neighborhoods through partnerships among the public, nonprofit and private sectors.
Local and regional governments have housing needs that call for varied approaches. Drawing on twenty years of experience, we design customized programs to fit their situation. We also help governments measure the success of existing programs and prepare for the future.
We are well-acquainted with the rules governing federal funding, so we can operate these programs very efficiently, saving administration dollars. The following programs are currently administered by The Partnership:
Rock County Home Rehabilitation and Down Payment Assistance
Through a contract with Rock County, we directly help homeowners through the process of rehabilitating their homes. The Partnership does an inspection, helps the homeowner select a good contractor at a fair price, and educates the homeowner on maintaining a healthy and safe home. Down payment assistance funds are also administered as a deferred loan for qualifying applicants.
Home Start Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance
We currently administer Home Start, which provides down payment and closing cost assistance to low to moderate income homebuyers throughout South Central Wisconsin through the REALTORS® Association of South Central Wisconsin’s Housing Foundation.
