Success Stories & Case Studies

 

Common Wealth Development
An organization committed to building and sustaining a vibrant, diverse, engaged, inclusive and safe community, used a $125,000 loan to purchase a property along the Yahara River Parkway. Rather than being converted into high-priced condos, the property now provides at least 11 housing units to lower-income people, and 35 housing to moderate-income people. In addition, there are nine fully barrier-free, wheelchair accessible units. This project is the cornerstone to inclusive development of the popular Yahara River Parkway area. Download a case study.

Wisconsin Partnership for Housing Development
Wisconsin Partnership for Housing Development used $150,000 to fund pre-development expenses and $197,500 to fund construction costs for the Uplands, a 143-unit affordable/mixed-income housing development project in Sun Prairie. The development is in collaboration with the Community Action Coalition for South Central Wisconsin and Movin' Out, Inc. About half of the 143 units will be affordable to people whose income levels are at or below the county median income. The Uplands incorporates new urbanism design concepts, such as narrower streets with sidewalks, rear-entry garages, front porches, smaller, low-maintenance yards, and walking and biking paths that will help build a strong neighborhood.
