Bond financing facilitated by WHEFA will be used to help Cedar Crest construct a new 76-unit, four story replacement assisted living facility, construct a new 24-unit four-story independent living apartment building, renovate a portion of the existing assisted living units into 16 memory care assisted living units, renovate the existing skilled nursing facility to incorporate a new therapy gym and remodel common area spaces.  Bond proceeds were also used to refinance certain bonds previously issued by WHEFA in 2013.  This tax-exempt financing process has enabled Cedar Crest to operate more effectively by financing and refinancing its capital expenses at low interest rates.

WHEFA is proud to continue its mission of assisting all eligible Wisconsin nonprofit institutions to obtain and maintain access to tax-exempt financing in order to finance or refinance their capital improvement and expansion needs.
