WHEDA Capital Access DPA paused: funds fully reserved

Published Oct 31, 2026 · Homebuyer update · By the DPA Finder editorial team

WHEDA says all Capital Access down payment assistance funds have been reserved, so the program is paused and lenders can't register new loans.

In Lender Update 2026-9, dated September 30, 2026, the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) said all available Capital Access Down Payment Assistance (DPA) funds have been reserved. The program is paused until more funds become available, and lenders can no longer register new Capital Access DPA loans.

WHEDA had announced on May 20, 2026 that Capital Access DPA was available for a limited number of loans. WHEDA says it will notify lenders when the program is available again.

If you were counting on Capital Access DPA, ask a WHEDA-participating lender which other WHEDA options are open now, and see the Wisconsin programs page for other help.
