Leo’s notes: These are the seventh and eighth homes completed by the Door County Housing Partnership — and part of what could become a 10-home affordable subdivision in Sister Bay. Using the community land trust model, the partnership keeps homes permanently affordable by retaining ownership of the land and selling the homes at below-market prices, supported by grants and donor subsidies. Families build equity responsibly while ensuring the homes remain attainable for future income-eligible buyers. With demand rising, a dollar-for-dollar match campaign is now underway to help build two more homes in 2026 — a clear reminder that sustained community investment is essential to expanding the region’s long-term affordable housing supply.
