Hispanic Heritage Month Highlight: VIA CDC

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we are highlighting Wisconsin-based organizations that work to enrich, uplift, and serve the Hispanic community.

VIA Community Development Corporation (VIA CDC) envisions a world where all places equip all people to reach their full potential. Since their founding in 1995, VIA has been a partner in building strong, healthy neighborhoods where all of us can thrive. They do this by focusing on three impact areas: business, community life, and housing.

BUSINESS
Find help starting or growing your business through 1:1 assistance, access to grants, financing, and more. Learn more about VIA's business resources.

COMMUNITY LIFE
Make sure your voice and your community are heard and seen! Fill out the census, get ready to vote and learn how else you can make a difference. Learn more about VIA's community building efforts.

HOUSING
Learn about resources to make home improvements including $1,000 matching grants, low-interest loans, energy efficiency upgrades, and more! Check out VIA's resources related to housing.
