Homeownership Program
Since 1994, the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee's Homeownership Program has helped hundreds of people realize their dream of becoming homeowners. The program offers ways for public housing residents, rent assistance voucher holders and others to work towards acquiring an asset that can benefit their family and the community for generations to come.
Homeownership Program Options
HACM operates two programs to assist low-income Milwaukeeans in achieving the dream of home ownership.
Section 32 Homeownership
HACM is suspending the program until further notice and reassessing the program to ensure that sufficient public housing inventory remains available for low-income Milwaukee residents.
This program assists people who live in HACM's public housing units, or people who would qualify for public housing based on their income, in preparing for and achieving a homeownership goal. Participants may be eligible for forgivable second mortgages if they choose to purchase a home sold by HACM. Section 32 Homeownership Program.
Section 8(y) Homeownership
This program is on hold until further notice, so no applications are being accepted.
This program assists HACM Housing Choice Voucher Program participants in converting their housing voucher to a mortgage payment.
Whether you are a current homeowner, are seeking to purchase or build a home, or are an investor, the City of Milwaukee's Housing Help Web Tool can assist you in reaching your goals.
