The 73-year-old Democrat`s decision not to seek a third term will set off a wide-open race to replace him in the closely divided battleground state.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers announced Thursday he won’t run for re-election next year, a move that will set off a wide-open race to replace him in one of the nation’s most closely divided battleground states.

In a video posted to X, Evers, 73, a Democrat, said he would not seek a third term so he could spend more time with his family, while also predicting he would have won had he run.

"For five decades, my family has sacrificed to give me the gift of service. They’re my world, and I owe it to them to focus on doing all the things we enjoy and love doing together. It’s why, Wisconsin, I’m announcing that I will not be running for a third term," he said. "I`m humbled to be your governor. This is the best job I ever had."...

Ken Notes: First thank you Governor Evers all you have done and will do.

As housing advocates I believe we should put together a Housing Agenda for Wisconsin and seek candidates on both sides of the isle that will support Housing for ALL in Wisconsin. Wisconsin could become a model for building neighborhoods, creating affordable workforce housing for Baristas near CEO`s, bipartisan support for the people of Wisconsin, innovative construction and design, creating new community amenities, best use of new and existing infrastructure, and so much more.

The City’s largest housing development in progress continues to be the Rock River Ridge, on the former Bethesda property at 700 Hoffman Dr., with 188 total units. 16 homes have already been sold and Harbor Homes is a year ahead of schedule on purchasing property lots from the Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation, due to demand.

Ken Notes: Great Read. Economic development and Workforce Housing are now tied together and need to be addressed as one solution. A business will not seriously consider a project if there is a substantial shortage of workforce housing in the area. Sustaining larger workforce housing projects requires a demand for quality housing that is affordable to the entry level worker. It is not the chicken nor the egg --but rather the roost that matters most.

PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. — Charities in Ozaukee County continue to work against a shortage of affordable housing in the area.

Joana Hemschemeyer works for the local chapter of Family Promise, an organization working to combat housing insecurity in the area, even among professions like teaching and firemen.

"The workers who are living here in Ozaukee County can`t afford to live here," Hemschemeyer said.

Ken Notes: I would like to see the focus more on those with jobs who are often lost in the system. Social programs exist for those with job loss, medical debt, car accidents or criminal records. There are few if any affordable market rate homes, condos, multiplexes, or modern developments with smaller lots and homes with shared amenities for service and retail workers.

MADISON - We all want Madison to be affordable for teachers and firefighters, bus drivers and baristas, nurses and mechanics – all of the people who make this City such an amazing place to live and work. And we all know that when there are not enough homes in our city, these people get priced out. If we want a community that is culturally, racially, and economically diverse, we have to build more homes, and we have to make those homes affordable for ordinary working people.???  

A mix of homes – of all sizes and prices – gives more people a chance to own their home, build wealth, and provide a solid foundation of economic stability and opportunity for themselves and the next generation.

Three new proposals will make it easier to build the types of smaller homes that we used to build and already see in many of the City’s more established neighborhoods. They will also simplify the permit process for some types of housing to lower the risks of building it. These steps will help create enough homes so that people from all walks of life can live all around our city.

• Proposal 1: Allow duplexes, or twin homes, in all residential areas

• Proposal 2: Allow more property owners with deep residential lots to split those lots, creating “Backyard Lots”

• Proposal 3: Simplify the permit process for small and medium sized housing developments downtown...

   ...Full Story Here

Leo`s Notes: Madison’s 2025 Housing Forward proposals are a bold, sensible step toward a more inclusive and affordable city. By legalizing duplexes citywide, easing lot splits for backyard homes, and simplifying downtown permitting, these reforms will unlock more housing options for everyday residents—teachers, nurses, service workers, and seniors alike. If we want a diverse and thriving Madison, we must build for it. How do you think this can be applied to YOUR COMMUNITY?

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson’s Department of City Development (DCD) is proposing the creation of two new tax incremental districts (TIDs) to support the development of affordable and workforce housing, generating new homes on the site of a long-vacant tax foreclosed commercial building on King Drive and adaptive reuse of an underutilized office tower in the heart of Downtown. 

On July 3, the City published a public hearing notice for TID 127 (100 East Wisconsin) and TID 128 (Compass Lofts). 

In April, DCD released updated Tax Incremental Financing for Housing Development Guidelines. 

The department’s updated policy prioritizes projects that create affordable and workforce housing options and developments that repurpose underutilized central business district office buildings into residential properties. 

   ...Full Story Here

Leo’s notes: Milwaukee’s proposed TIDs for 100 East Wisconsin and Compass Lofts reflect a bold, targeted use of public financing to create affordable and workforce housing where it`s needed most. By transforming vacant and underused buildings into vibrant residential hubs, the city is advancing equity, preserving community, and proving that thoughtful redevelopment can benefit both existing residents and future growth.

Ken Notes: With development agreements to insure quality development and large projects to serve as the economic engine TIF can be a wonderful tool for housing projects. But we need to clearly define affordable and rules to ensure units are built well...

When Christina Henderson was a medical student in 2022, she found herself flying across the country to complete a required rotation at Duke University in North Carolina. 

The logistics were challenging. Without a car and clear support to find short-term housing, Henderson ended up in a Craigslist rental as her last resort. Then one night, Henderson said, she awoke to a cockroach crawling across her stomach.

“I was kind of trapped there for the month,” she said. “I was like, ‘OK, well, I have nowhere to go because I have no housing.’”

Leo’s notes: Reliable Residence is meeting a critical need at the intersection of health care and housing. As Madison’s tight rental market strains access to short-term housing, this homegrown effort provides a lifeline for medical professionals who keep our hospitals running. Supporting workforce housing solutions like this isn`t just good policy—it’s essential infrastructure for a healthy, functioning community.

It’s a move that’s creating a buzz in the community of 1,800 in Columbia County.

“There is a lot of excitement in Randolph with the school renovation,” said Village Trustee Nicholas Weinberger. “We often hear comments from people saying they would love to move here, but they just can’t find housing. That’s coming from young families, retirees — really people at all stages of life.”

Located at 256 N. High St, the development will be home to 28 apartments, 26 of which will be offered at less than the market rate, and three condominium units.

Leo’s notes: Randolph’s transformation of a long-vacant school into affordable housing is a model of rural revitalization done right. By preserving local character while expanding housing options for all life stages, this project strengthens the community, supports economic growth, and demonstrates how reinvestment in underused spaces can fuel a more resilient future for small towns across Wisconsin.

Leo’s notes: Woodale Crossing is a shining example of what’s possible when public, private, and nonprofit partners come together with purpose. This supportive, affordable housing not only meets critical needs for seniors and individuals with disabilities—it also sets a high standard for dignity, inclusion, and long-term community impact. As housing challenges persist, we need more projects like this across Milwaukee County.

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A press conference was held at City Hall Monday, July 7, calling for the immediate passage of the Housing Element plan. 

Community leaders discussed areas of concern such as housing costs and public safety. 

According to a poll by Together for Homes, more than 80% of Milwaukee residents believe the city does not have enough affordable housing. 

The plan is a "Milwaukee first" approach, tailored toward long-time residents throughout the city....

Leo’s notes: Milwaukee’s housing shortage is clear—and residents are calling for bold, local solutions. The Housing Element plan offers a “Milwaukee first” path forward, prioritizing long-time residents and essential workers who are being priced out of their own neighborhoods.

Leo’s notes: As communities seek solutions beyond traditional affordable housing programs, Sandburg Studios shows what`s possible when local developers are empowered to repurpose underutilized buildings. These units may not be government-subsidized, but they are mission-critical—proof that public and private housing strategies must work hand-in-hand to fill every gap in the housing ladder. We need more local innovation like this—combined with zoning flexibility, reduced red tape, and financial tools that reward reinvestment in our neighborhoods.

Ken Notes: We at WWHNews.com are focused on Workforce Housing -- not subsidized or homeless issues, BUT I wonder if we were to design a comprehensive plan to provide basic housing for all homeless vets we would have in place solutions and designs for some of our other housing issues.

We are of the opinion that neighborhood design is one of the key solutions to ALL housing issues. We need communities that have neighborhoods that allow a variety of homes for all economic levels as apposed to today`s plats that segregate development by socioeconomics -- excluding retail, services, teachers, and other employees vital to our economic sustainability.

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – The city of La Crosse will soon begin work on a housing development to help with affordable housing. The project will also serve residents with disabilities. That project comes with a hefty price tag. To that end, Haven for Special People and Couleecap have begun the public phase of their $4.2 million fundraising campaign. The campaign will support the $23.5 million Haven on Main housing development.

The development will have 70 units of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments. 59 of the units will be for people living on a fixed income due to disability. Couleecap Executive Director Hetti Brown said, “This is a new and unique housing development that will provide independent living options for adults with disabilities, alongside the general population without disabilities in an inclusive 70-unit apartment building.”

Brown hopes that Haven on Main can serve as an example to other communities....   ...Full Story Here

Leo’s notes: Haven on Main is a transformative step forward for La Crosse—filling a long-overlooked gap in housing for adults with disabilities while advancing inclusive, affordable living for all. As communities across the state seek innovative housing models, this project offers both inspiration and a call to action: everyone deserves a safe, supported place to call home.

Ken Notes: Because we live in the La Crosse area, Leo and I will be following this one closely.

Affordable Housing development and management company Volker Development, has announced plans for the development of Kelly Station, a 76-unit affordable housing community located at 2462 E.

GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- A local nonprofit is working to get ahead of homelessness in Northeast Wisconsin by increasing the number of affordable living options.

Many working class people are just above the poverty line, living paycheck to paycheck. City Center Lofts in downtown Green Bay opened nearly a year ago -- and the question is, will this limit homelessness?

The Gateway Collective is working to bring affordable housing to renters living just above the poverty line...

Leo’s notes: Sturgeon Bay’s Cherry Lanes redevelopment is a smart example of preserving character while creating much-needed workforce housing. With WHEDA’s Restore Main Street support and thoughtful design updates, this project blends historic preservation with modern affordability—helping downtown remain vibrant and livable for all.

McShane Construction Company’s Wisconsin regional team was selected by Volker Development to build Kelly Station, a 76-unit affordable housing residence in Madison, Wisconsin.

“We’re proud to partner with Volker on Kelly Station,” commented Alison Gorham, Vice President & Director of Wisconsin Operations at McShane. “This development not only brings much-needed affordable housing to Madison, but also incorporates thoughtful design, modern amenities, and green building practices that will benefit residents and the surrounding community for years to come.”

Volker is a development and property management company focused on providing affordable and workforce housing options nationwide. Based in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, this project will be Volker’s first new construction project in Dane County, and their 27th in the state of Wisconsin...

Leo’s notes: Kelly Station is a strong step toward addressing Madison’s growing need for affordable, accessible housing. Backed by public-private collaboration and WHEDA’s support, this project prioritizes both sustainability and equity—proving that affordable housing can be high-quality, community-oriented, and rooted in long-term impact. It`s the kind of development housing advocates have long pushed for—and one we need more of across Wisconsin...

As part of the project at Cherry Lanes to construct apartments on the building’s second floor, Sturgeon Bay’s Aesthetic Design and Site Plan Review Board on June 23 approved replacing windows on the rear of the building at 134 N. 4th Ave. with larger ones that are 32 inches by 70 inches with colors and materials similar to the existing windows.

Cherry Lanes property owner Moira Callan sought a permit for the new windows to alter their sizes “for appropriate natural light and consistency throughout the building.”

City Planner/Zoning Administrator Stephanie Servia said the new windows, for which there will be no changes to the front of the building facing North 4th Avenue, “do not appear to take away from the historic character of the building” with the windows being replaced with the same style of windows.

BELOIT, Wis. — Like many communities throughout Wisconsin, Beloit is actively working to build more apartments and homes to meet a growing demand for housing.

What You Need To Know

• Developers are building the Western Hills subdivision, which consists of 23 single-family homes. Each one of those homes sold within a week or two of being listed


• Now, a larger 138-home subdivision is on the way, after the city awarded a $1 million market-rate housing incentive to another developer


• The city also set aside $6 million in a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Housing Fund, which uses taxpayer revenue to create more affordable housing options for people with lower incomes


• Beloit’s former YMCA is being converted into apartments and so are the upper floors of some storefronts downtown

The city’s population has grown for a second year in a row.

When George and June Arrowood decided to move back to Beloit from Tennessee to be closer to their grandkids, they quickly realized that finding a home was going to be difficult.

“There weren’t very many options at all,” June Arrowood said.

“We found out that renting is probably, in the long run, more expensive than buying around here, which is terrible,” George Arrowood added.

As they were looking, developers began building the Western Hills subdivision, which consists of 23 single-family homes. Each one of those homes sold within a week or two of being listed. The Arrowoods are the proud owners of one of them.

Leo’s notes: Beloit’s proactive approach to housing—pairing incentives for market-rate development with targeted investments in affordability—is a promising model for fast-growing communities. As vacancy rates tighten and demand surges, the city’s commitment to both economic growth and housing equity is key to ensuring all residents can find a place to call home.

12 families will move in to the development in southern Wisconsin`s `MadWaukee` corridor

Land near the Madison College campus in Watertown will soon be home to an affordable housing project. 

This summer, Habitat for Humanity of Waukesha & Jefferson Counties bought 0.8 acres from the technical college for $116,800. The property will be used to build six duplexes.

The $3.3 million project is set to break ground this fall so that 12 families can move in during 2026.

The project is situated in a key “MadWaukee” corridor, halfway between Madison and Milwaukee, said Sue Vock, the director of marketing and development for the local Habitat for Humanity group...

Leo’s notes: Habitat for Humanity’s new 12-home development in Watertown is more than housing—it’s a blueprint for generational change. By creating stable, affordable homeownership opportunities for families earning 30–80% of the area median income, this project builds community, equity, and a pathway to long-term economic resilience. Volunteer labor, local partnerships, and homes priced for real working families!

Leo’s notes: The Grand Boulevard Apartments mark a major step forward in addressing Green Bay’s “missing middle” housing gap. By leveraging public-private partnerships and thoughtful land use, this development brings attainable housing to working families while setting the stage for a vibrant, mixed-income neighborhood. It’s a smart, catalytic investment in community and economic stability.

Leo’s notes: With rents rising and vacancy rates low, we must support projects like this that serve families earning around 60% of the area median income. The proposed zoning change at 1435 S. 1st Street isn’t just about buildings—it’s about creating housing access and community stability in one of Wilwaukee`s most dynamic neighborhoods.

WATERTOWN — The City’s Manager of Economic Development and Strategic Initiatives presented a vast overview of economic development in the City to the Common Council on Tuesday. Mason Becker’s presentation included housing projects, future industrial use and more.

Leo’s notes: Watertown is making visible strides in housing development—but aligning those efforts with true community affordability remains the next test. As new units break ground across a range of project types, ensuring that homes are accessible to the workers, families, and longtime residents who sustain the city must remain central to economic growth.

In the `80s, Bob Duffy was a student at Oconomowoc Middle School. Today, that middle school building is a 55-unit apartment building that was restored with historical preservation, and Duffy is the president of the Oconomowoc Historical Society and Museum.

The school was originally built in 1922, and in 2013, historic and affordable housing tax credits allowed for the $10.9 million transformation of the old school into the Oconomowoc School Apartments.

Duffy said anytime there`s an opportunity to create an adaptive reuse to that type of structure, it`s beneficial to the community.

Notes:

RIVER FALLS — The River Falls Plan Commission heard about a proposed Powell Avenue housing development and received a presentation on national, state, regional and local housing markets.

The development proposal is for 12 twin homes totaling 24 units. Twenty of the units would be accessed through a new branch off Powell Avenue, while the final four will be located directly on Woodridge Drive. City Council will review the plan during the July 22 meeting.

According to Senior Planner Harley Mehlhorn, the 7.2-acre area was annexed into the city in May and the Park Board voted to collect a fee in lieu of land for park dedication in June.

The developer agreed to pay a fee in lieu of park space, meaning the development will pay rather than having the required amount of green space due to its proximity to Collins Park. The developer also committed to constructing an enhanced crossing for Powell Avenue to Collins Park, to which Plan Commission Chair Diane Odeen asked what it would entail...

...“I know it has been a big topic here in Watertown over the past couple years and I’m proud to say today we have a lot of housing breaking ground, and also upcoming,” Becker said. “I just wanted to emphasize in this overview, we’re working on projects throughout the City; different project types and different price points. We’re not focused on just apartments or just owner-occupied.”

Workforce

With Wisconsin currently in a labor shortage, Becker advocated that the City and community need to continue to attract workers.

Becker said housing should be an area of focus. He noted that with the aging population in the area — and most of Wisconsin — that trend needs to be reversed for economic growth.

“We can do that by focusing on some of the things we’re already doing: Building housing, and being a great place to live, work and play,” he said.

Across Wisconsin many employees can simply not afford to live where they work.

This is true in big cities and small rural communities. Both the availability and price of housing is not in line with the needs of those working in jobs that are vital to the success of our communities. Imagine a firefighter, teacher, city employee, service, or retail worker not able to afford a home in the community they serve.

We believe Wisconsin employers will support these efforts so they can successfully recruit workers to fill the thousands of job openings now hampered by a shortage of affordable housing.
