Neighborhood Revitalization Programs

La Crosse County encourages redevelopment of housing opportunities within our more mature neighborhoods.  Below is a brief description of the current program that we offer, along with links to program materials.

Housing Rehabilitation for qualified homeowners

Acquisition & Demolition Grant - Due December 10th, 2024

This program was designed to help bridge the financial gap between redeveloping in more mature neighborhoods with deteriorating housing stock and other housing opportunities.  This is a competitive grant process with application cycles in March, June, September, and December.  Please contact County staff for application deadlines and details.  Grant funds can be used for activities that prepare property for residential redevelopment.  This program is not for home renovation projects, but rather for projects that replace old, deteriorated housing with new housing.  Non-profit housing developers also have the ability to request a reservation of grant funding from this program, while they pull together the project.
