WHEDA's 2011 Applicants

WHEDA has a list of applicants for the 2011 Tax Credit Program.

The three in Waukesha County are:

• Wilkinson Manor (Majority Elderly) in Oconomowoc by Crown Court Properties
• Riverview Commons Senior Living (Majority RCAC which is assisted living) in Waukesha by Alliance Housing Development
• Fox Chase Apartments (Elderly only) in Eagle by Sunstarr Real Estate Ventures

 The question, of course, is if HUD's Worst-Case Housing Needs Report has identified families with children as needing affordable housing significantly more than older adults, why is it that all three of Waukesha County's proposed developments targeted at older adults?

 

Do not think that developers have not learned from what happened in the City of Waukesha, in New Berlin, among others. This is the direct result of opposition in many communities.

 

Elsewhere in the metro area...

 

Milwaukee County has 20 proposed developments, of which 3 are mixed (mixed unit types, I think), 11 are family housing, 5 are "elderly" housing, and one is supportive housing for persons with disabilities, which is a set-aside category in the awarding process.

 

There are no proposed developments in Ozaukee or Washington Counties.
