FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
About the Partnership
About our web site
I'm a renter. Can the Wisconsin Partnership help me buy a home?
The Wisconsin Partnership does not work directly with housing consumers. As an intermediary organization, we work with nonprofit corporations, state and local government agencies, the private sector and advocacy groups to make housing projects happen. If you need assistance with personal housing concerns, we suggest you begin by contacting a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) near you.
Where does WPHD get project ideas?
The Wisconsin Partnership gets project ideas from a variety of sources. Sometimes the ideas come from our own staff. Sometimes local government agencies or community-based organizations request our assistance. We have even helped groups of individuals start new organizations to meet specific kinds of housing need. As you explore our web site, you will see that we have worked with a central-city church to build senior housing , helped the U.S. Army convert military houses into affordable rental housing, and designed a low-interest loan program for small investor-owners. We are proud of our ability to respond effectively to a wide range of housing concerns. If you have a project idea, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
How can I contact the Partnership?
You may contact the Wisconsin Partnership for Housing Development in many ways. Our general contact information including phone, fax and email, can be found at the end of each page on our web site. For more detail, use the information on our Who We Are page, or on our Alternative Contact Information page. You may also use the web form on our Resources/Help page. We want to hear from you!
What is the skip nav link and why is it on your web pages?
The skip nav link on each page is just one of many features of our web site designed to ensure that our electronic information is available to the widest possible audience in the most efficient and accessible way. This link makes it possible for people who view the web with alternative user agents, such as J.A.W.S., to skip the repeated navigational elements on each page and go straight to the specific content.
What are the buttons on the bottom of each page?
Another accessibility feature of our web site, these buttons are used to directly link and verify that our web pages meet current design criteria. Go ahead and try them. Please let us know if we fall short on any of our declared pages.
The first button links our web site directly to the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) site and validates the html code on each of WPHD's web pages to HTML 4.01, our declared standard. This is the first step in writing accessible web pages.
The second button indicates a claim by our web pages of conformance to level Double-A of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, including all Priority 1 and Priority 2 checkpoints defined in the Guidelines. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 explain how to make web content accessible to people with disabilities.
The third button links our site to Bobby.
Bobby is a web-based tool that analyzes web pages for their accessibility to people with disabilities. CAST (Center for Applied Special Technology) offers Bobby as a free public service to further its mission to expand opportunities for people with disabilities through the innovative use of computer technology.
The last button links our site to WDG, the Web Design Group.
The Web Design Group was founded to promote the creation of non-browser-specific, non-resolution-specific, creative and informative sites that are accessible to all users worldwide.
English is not my first language. Can I get your information in another language?
Several free tools exist to help with the translation of web pages. Please try Babel Fish (Alta Vista), Go Translator (Infoseek/Go Network), or Voila.com.
