Home Buyers

Wisconsin Housing works for our state’s greatest asset – our employees.

When it comes to buying a home, we know it comes down to three things: Location, Location, Location. And location near your workplace is most important. Some workplaces though are located near expensive neighborhoods, or are in older parts of the city where the housing stock needs some work.

Luckily for you, we are working to build teams of REALTORS®, lenders, housing counselors and local governments across the state to help employers just like yours develop Employer Assisted Housing programs to help people like you buy a home. Many employers who have these programs even offer financial assistance to help their employees with a down payment and closing costs!

We can reduce your commute, reduce your stress and reduce your carbon footprint by helping you buy a home close to where you work. Talk to your Human Resources department today and share this website with them! An Employer Assisted Housing program at your place of work can link you to REALTORS®, lenders and housing counselors to provide trustworthy information and even additional financial resources.
