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 very low, low, and moderate-income individuals and families.
The Cooperative will form out of a coalition of developers, subcontractors, service organizations, financial institutions, and economic development partners.
An initial Steering Committee forming from these partner organizations will evaluate the feasibility of the creation of the WWHC, its membership and structure, and drive the implementation of recommendations.
The Cooperative will serve as a housing stability advocacy organization with member organizations, national partners, businesses, stakeholders, financing organizations, this organization will be based on fairness, trust and committed to diversity, equity and inclusion with the intent to advance equitable housing solutions and serve as a collective effort to advocate, educate and coordinate resources.
