Exhibit 31-1
                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I,   Wilfred N. Cooper, Jr., certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly  report on Form 10-Q of WNC Housing Tax Credit
   Fund VI, L.P. Series 6;

2.  Based on my  knowledge,  this  annual  report  does not  contain  any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to
     make the statements made, in light of the  circumstances  under  which such
     statements were made,  not  misleading  with  respect to the period covered
     by this annual report;

3.  Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information included in this annual report, fairly present in all  material
     respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash  flows  of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;

4.  The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer  and  I  are  responsible  for
    establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and  procedures (as defined
    in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e) for  the registrant  and we have:

    (a)  Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or  caused such
         disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under   our
         supervision,  to ensure  that  material  information  relating  to  the
         registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known  to
         us by others within those entities,  particularly during the period  in
         which this annual report is being prepared;

    (b)  Evaluated the  effectiveness of  the registrant's  disclosure  controls
         and procedures and presented in  this report our conclusions  about the
         effectiveness of the disclosure controls  and procedures, as of the end
         of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

    (c)  Disclosed  in this  report  any  change in  the  registrant's  internal
         control over financial reporting that  occurred during the registrant's
         most  recent  fiscal  quarter  that  has  materially  affected,  or  is
         reasonably  likely to  materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal
         control over financial reporting; and

5.  The registrant's other certifying  officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on
    our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting,  to
    the registrant's independent registered public accounting firm and the audit
    committee of the  registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the
    equivalent functions):

    (a)  All significant  deficiencies and  material weaknesses in the design or
         operation  of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which  are
         reasonably  likely to adversely affect in the registrant's  ability  to
         record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

    (b)  Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management or other
         employees who have  a  significant  role in the  registrant's  internal
         control over financial reporting.
