Milwaukee Affordable Housing Trust Fund

The Milwaukee Housing Trust Fund provides grants and loans for the construction, rehabilitation and accessibility modification of affordable housing for low- to moderate-income households. Since 2007, the Housing Trust Fund has provided $7,907,521 million in grants and loans, leveraging more than $250 million in additional funding sources and generating 1,264 housing units that would not have been produced without this vital funding source. The primary focus of the Housing Trust Fund is to provide funding for supportive housing for the homeless. More than half of the Housing Trust Fund’s project allocations have gone toward housing for the homeless, making up more than half of the units produced to date.
