“We never seem to be free from clogged drains,” said Ms. Loveland. “The grant funds will go a long way toward alleviating our plumbing issues.”
This was the tenth time that the House of Mercy was awarded grant funds through the WHEDA Foundation. Over the years they have received grant funds totaling over $145,000, and as
Ms. Loveland says, the lives impacted by the grants from WHEDA have been innumerable.
“WHEDA is honored and proud to offer financial support to special-needs housing providers on an annual basis through our foundation,” said WHEDA Executive Director Wyman Winston. “The grant funds are extremely beneficial because significant improvements are made to affordable housing across the state for the neediest of the needy.”
Since 1985, the WHEDA Foundation has issued over 1,000 awards to special-needs housing providers in Wisconsin totaling nearly $22 million. The annual Housing Grant competition is funded entirely by WHEDA reserves using no state tax dollars.
