Who can apply

This program serves low-income families and individuals who meet HUD income limits for the Wisconsin area (generally at or below 50% of area median income; many buildings prioritize 30%).

How to apply

1. Call the building at 414-761-0244 (managed by Cedar Village Management, Inc.) and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.
2. Most buildings keep their own waiting list — this is separate from the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM) Section 8 voucher list.
3. Submit proof of income, ID for every household member, and Social Security numbers where available.
4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.

Your rights

Wisconsin's open-housing law has been interpreted to exclude Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers from the definition of "lawful source of income," so it does not protect voucher holders. Milwaukee County adopted an ordinance barring source-of-income discrimination, but the County's own counsel has publicly questioned whether it can be enforced given state law, and supervisors have asked the state to change the statute. Treat voucher acceptance as effectively voluntary and verify current local enforcement before relying on it
