Challenge
There is a critical housing shortage in Western Wisconsin as identified by county income guidelines set by Housing and Urban Development standards.
Demand for affordable housing in rural Western Wisconsin continues to increase with the the eastward migration from Twin Cities exurban communities. As employers and local municipalities look for housing opportunities, a collaborative model to address the demand will help ease this challenge and plan for a sustainable housing market.

The WWHC is a shared services cooperative that develops new small-scale housing options for individuals and families with an Area Median Income of 60-80%.
Work is being done with a coalition of developers, subcontractors, service organizations, financial institutions, and economic development partners to create this Coop.
An initial Steering Committee is evaluating the feasibility of the creation of the WWHC, its membership and structure, and will drive the implementation of recommendations.
