Milwaukee Gets $11M Housing Boost | Milwaukee News

Milwaukee’s housing future just got a major upgrade—with $11 million in state loans fueling six new developments, part of a $50 million statewide push to build affordable and workforce housing. These projects will add 300+ apartments, including conversions of historic buildings like the old Milwaukee County City Campus (100+ senior units) and Mitchell Street’s repurposed commercial spaces. WHEDA is driving this effort as part of a $525 million housing initiative launched in 2023, targeting underutilized structures and tough-to-build neighborhoods. From the former Marcia P. Coggs Center to Walker’s Point workforce housing, this isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about revitalizing communities, boosting local economies, and tackling Wisconsin’s housing crisis head-on.
