Check it out: there’s $92M available from the American Rescue Plan Act (also known as Build Back Better) for mortgage and local property tax assistance as well as support for overdue utilities and internet costs! There’s no trick and Rick Astley is not involved.
Here’s Five Fast Facts on Wisconsin’s WHH Program …… :
- 🏘️What Is It? - It’s a statewide program called Wisconsin Help for Homeowners (WHH). The program launched in March of this year. It awards up to $40,000 per household. That’s like… a lot!
- 🏠Bills, Bills, Bills - It’s available to Wisconsin homeowners with overdue housing-related bills. We’re talkin’ about folks with and without a mortgage who have experienced a qualified economic hardship since January 21, 2020.
- 🏡Do I qualify? - In order to be eligible, you must own and live in a single-family home, duplex, condo or factory built home. Your income must be less than or equal to 100% of the US or county median, whichever is greater, and you have to have been financially impacted since Jan. 21st of 2020.
- 🏚️Are People Really Getting This? - Definitely. Racine County residents alone have pulled in a total of $350,000 in aid.
- ✍️Sign Me Up, Bruh - You can apply here. If you’re interested, act fast because the deadline is September 30th of this year. It’s also awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t wait around.
🔥Bottom line: Apparently word hasn’t spread far enough since the folks at the Capitol building are still getting the word out. Even if it’s coming two years later, it’s still a nice bump that might help residents (including your family, friends, and neighbors) get things back on track.
