Home improvement funds are available from the city of Oshkosh
Informational session to be offered on April 22
OSHKOSH, Wis., April 1, 2021 – The city of Oshkosh offers loans and incentives designed to
encourage home improvements, home ownership, and investing in eligible Oshkosh housing
stock. A strong diverse stock of affordable
housing is important to the economic health and
quality of life in Oshkosh.
Those who are interested in these types of
programs are invited to join an April 22 online
presentation. Presenters will be sharing details on
programs such as “Sold on Oshkosh”, a $5,000
grant for a home purchase that is forgivable after 5
years. Or for those who own an eligible property,
and want to make improvements to the exterior, they could apply for the “Curb Appeal”, a 10
year loan up to $10,000 at 0% interest. Additional programs may be found on the City’s website
at ci.oshkosh.wi.us/PlanningServices/HousingRehabilitation.aspx. The programs could save
participants thousands of dollars! Those attending will hear from a panel of city of Oshkosh
Planning staff and Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods about details of the programs, including
eligibility requirements. There will be an opportunity to ask questions during this presentation.
Home buyers, realtors, mortgage professionals, investors or bankers should plan on attending
this free online presentation on April 22 at 10:00 a.m. via WEBEX. To register for the
informational session please contact Anne Schaefer, Marketing and Fund Development
Coordinator, aschaefer@ci.oshkosh.wi.us, (920) 232-5306. Those registering will receive a
