City of Waukesha Affordable Housing Rehab Loan Program

How it works

The City of Waukesha’s Affordable Housing Rehab Loan program was launched in 2022 using funds from a one-year extension of TID 14, along with CDBG funding. According to the city’s housing affordability analysis, the program provides 0% interest loans to homeowners for qualifying renovations or repairs to their homes.

The city also says it agreed to fund 10 grants for Habitat for Humanity’s Home Preservation Program through this program, and that eight grants had been awarded so far at $5,000 each.
