Gov. Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) announced the results of the latest round of competitive funding for the Vacancy-to-Vitality, Restore Main Street, and Infrastructure Access loan programs.

These programs were created by bipartisan legislation and supported by historic state funding provided by the 2023–25 biennial budget that was signed into law by Gov. Evers last year. The 2023-25 biennial budget signed by Gov. Evers provided one of the largest state investments in workforce housing in state history with a $525 million investment.

WHEDA is the administrator of the $100 million Vacancy-to-Vitality, $100 million Restore Main Street, and $275 million Infrastructure Access loan programs, all of which are available for application semi-annually. To date, WHEDA has administered over $16.3 million of the available funding made possible through these innovative programs signed into law by the governor as part of the 2023-25 biennial budget.
