Affordable Housing
For seniors and people with disabilities
Understanding Affordable Housing
An important component of Capri Communities’ living portfolio is quality affordable housing that we provide to low-income older adults and to people with disabilities. Capri’s affordable housing is broken out into two primary categories:
- Section 8 Housing: For residents 62 years of age and older. Qualified residents pay 30% of their gross adjusted income as their monthly rent.
- Other Affordable Housing: These are income qualified programs run by the State of Wisconsin and WHEDA (Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority).
HUD establishes income limits and revises them annually to ensure that federal rental assistance is provided only to low-income families. Income limits are based on family size and the annual income the household receives.
If you have questions about any of Capri’s affordable housing options, please email info@capricommunities.com or call (262) 798-1224.

Section-8 Affordable Housing
Residents must be 62 years of age and meet income restrictions as required by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Qualifying residents pay 30% of their gross adjusted income as their monthly rent charge.
Other Affordable Housing
The below communities offer income qualified housing through programs managed by the state of Wisconsin and WHEDA (Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority). Program names are HOME and LIHTC (Low Income Housing Tax Credit). Both programs require residents to be income qualified, meeting restrictions set by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Qualifying residents will receive rent levels at or below affordable rent limits set by HUD.
