Opportunity Lives Here

Turn the opportunity of homeownership into a place to belong.

The Welcome Home Green County Program offers a $10,000 down payment grant for first-time homebuyers, who then complete 20 volunteer hours per year for 5 years at an approved Green County Organization. More details can be found in the brochure below or by contacting GCDC.

“Moving to Monroe in Green County in 2012 was one of the best decisions I’ve made.  It provided me with the opportunity to continue my banking career while building a life and starting a family.  I have formed lasting friendships with people I’ve met through work, buying my first home, curling at the Alpine Curling Club, serving on nonprofit boards, and attending community events.  The welcoming community, small-town atmosphere, and growing family amenities like the City of Monroe Parks and Recreation department and Green County Family YMCA have made it easy to call Monroe home.”

-Keith McCormick

“Green County is the perfect blend of small-town, peaceful living and having access to most of what you need nearby. We’re fortunate to have access to quality healthcare, shopping, great restaurants, and things to do. There is a strong sense of community and pride that is special to the people who live here. More than just a place to live, Green County is where you can build a life, raise a family, and feel rooted in your community.”

-Rebecca Bordner
