Governor Evers Announces New "More Like Home Repair and Renew Loan" Program

Saturday, September 28th, 2024 -- 9:00 AM

Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA), announced the new More Like Home™ Repair and Renew Loan program to help owners of older homes make critical repairs and improvements that increase energy efficiency, safety, and security.

The More Like Home™ Repair and Renew Loan program is the fourth and final program to emerge from the historic $525 million housing legislation signed into law by Gov. Evers last year, one of the largest investments in workforce housing in state history.

The governor’s announcement today comes as Gov. Evers and the Evers Administration are highlighting National Clean Energy Week this week. The More Like Home™ Repair and Renew Loan program provides low-interest loans between $5,000 and $50,000 to owners of houses more than 40 years old.

Homeowners can use these loans to finance crucial structural repairs and energy-efficiency updates such as roofing, insulation, plumbing, electrical, heating, and air conditioning. Loans are available through WHEDA’s participating lenders.
