About Woodside Apartments

Woodside Apartments is a Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities property at 6519 W Bradley Rd, Milwaukee 53223. It has 12 apartments, 11 of which are subsidized (6 one-bedroom, 5 two-bedroom).

Who can apply

This program serves very low-income adults with a disability 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 414-325-3004 (managed by Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan 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
