Wisconsin First-Time Homebuyers Savings Account

OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING

For Wisconsin Families…

Young families in Wisconsin are facing an affordable housing problem. With student loan debt, tight budgets, and the rising cost of housing, it’s nearly impossible for many renters to save enough money for a down payment for a home these days.

These are tough obstacles to overcome. That’s why we need the Wisconsin First-Time Homebuyers Savings Accounts tool – an idea that has already been adopted by other states across the country to help prospective home buyers start saving for a down payment.

With a First-Time Homebuyers Savings Account, someone can start to save money tax free specifically for the purpose of buying a home.

This concrete solution to help first-time homebuyers also helps the rest of Wisconsin. Research shows that homeownership strengthens communities and provides stability for families.

Deep roots planted by new Wisconsin homeowners mean more stable middle-class communities and a stronger economy.
