Better Homes. Stronger Neighborhoods.

 

The City of Wausau offers low-interest installment loans to support landlords in rehabilitating rental properties within city limits. This program promotes affordable housing, improves housing quality, and strengthens neighborhood stability through property improvements.

Funding may be used for eligible repairs and upgrades that enhance safety, preserve affordability, and maintain property standards. Income limits and landlord participation requirements apply. Funding is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
