Wisconsin Housing Works to grow employee roots within companies.
Employers have much to gain by launching an employer assisted housing program through Wisconsin Housing Works. Increase your staff retention and decrease recruiting and training costs by assisting your employees in purchasing affordable, accessible and safe housing near the workplace.
An employer assisted housing program requires an organization to see their role as a good corporate citizen for the long term. Your level of involvement can range from hosting home buyer education classes at the work site to offering down payment assistance. Your first step is to understand the process and tap into your local lenders, REALTORS®, municipality and housing non-profit agencies to discover what is available to you. WHEDA can help you on this journey!
Investing in Your Workforce
Affordable housing provides a stable environment for your employees to feel secure and connected to their families and communities. Through the Wisconsin Housing Works initiative you can provide a homeownership incentive for your employees to feel even more connected and loyal to you, their employer.
Local housing counseling agencies administer local, state and federal forms of down payment and closing cost funds. Each of the funding sources has their own guidelines and eligibility requirements. Many of the various funding sources can be layered together to make the most efficient housing transaction for the home buyer.
In addition to the down payment resources that your housing counseling agencies may bring to the table to match or leverage your investment, your local municipality may also be willing to invest with you.
Many parts of the state already have trained REALTORS®, lenders and housing counseling agencies who are ready to help you implement an employer assisted housing program. These professionals are a great resource to help you get started as you begin exploring a program in your community.
There are many successful employer assisted housing programs across Wisconsin. Visit the Wisconsin Housing Works Programs for a list of participating employers, the employee benefit offered and the corporate contact.
