Strong Communities Grant Program

The Wisconsin Homeowners Alliance advocates for property owners across Wisconsin, championing safe, affordable, and comfortable housing for all. As a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, we support public policies that promote property ownership and strengthen property rights statewide.

Through the Strong Communities Grant Program, we partner with organizations to fund advocacy initiatives that address housing supply and affordability, promote fair housing, advocate for infrastructure investment, and highlight the importance of safe, welcoming homes for every Wisconsinite. Together, we’re working to protect and expand the dream of property ownership across the Badger State.

Purpose and Goal of Program

Grants provide financial support to state and local organizations to run effective campaigns that advocate for public policies aligned with the Wisconsin Homeowners Alliance’s mission to promote and protect homeownership and property rights in Wisconsin.
