About This Program in Wisconsin
In Milwaukee, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an HACM community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Wisconsin
Apply through HACM at hacm.org (public housing waitlist at waitlist.hacm.org) when waitlists are open. Important: whether Milwaukee protects voucher holders is unsettled — Wisconsin law has been read to exclude Section 8 from "lawful source of income," and Milwaukee County''s own attorneys question whether its ordinance is enforceable, so a landlord may decline your voucher. Verify locally. Call HACM Intake at (414) 286-5678.
