Programs for people with disabilities and others who are interested in purchasing homes in Wisconsin
Waukesha HOME Consortium
Movin’ Out is a preferred housing counseling provider for the Waukesha HOME Consortium. This program helps eligible families with household incomes at or below 80% of the county median to afford a home purchase in Waukesha, Washington, Ozaukee, or Jefferson Counties. Forgivable loans up to $10,000 may be used toward the down payment and/or closing costs for purchasing an owner-occupied home.
As long as the property remains the borrower’s primary residence for five years, the loan is forgiven and no repayment is due. This loan may be combined with other down payment assistance (DPA) programs to make the home purchase even more affordable. Loan recipients must complete housing counseling with an approved provider such as Movin’ Out before the HOME DPA funds are released. Contact Movin’ Out for more information.
