| Baldwin hears from northern Wisconsin leaders on housing | ||
Leo’s notes: Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s roundtable in Superior underscored a key truth: solving Wisconsin’s housing crisis requires layered, local solutions. From city-developer partnerships and “Vacant to Value” programs to land trusts like CheqBUILT, communities are testing creative strategies to preserve and expand affordability. These efforts show promise, but the scale of need—200,000 new units statewide by 2030—demands continued alignment between federal resources, local innovation, and nonprofit leadership if we are to keep housing within reach for working families. | ||

| Green Bay advances cash infusion headed toward affordable housing | ||
Leo’s notes: Green Bay is showing how smart local policy can turn economic growth into real housing solutions. By extending the I-43 Business Park TIF for one more year, the city stands to direct $3.4 million into its Affordable Housing Fund — more than double what the fund has collected in its first four years. That money could seed hundreds of new units at prices working families can actually afford. This decision is a reminder that cities can use the tools they already have to make housing more attainable. The key now will be ensuring those funds are deployed quickly, strategically, and in ways that create lasting affordability for Green Bay residents. | ||

| New coalition aims to boost home ownership for Wisconsin`s tribal communities | ||
Leo’s notes: The launch of the Wisconsin Native Homeownership Coalition marks a pivotal shift in addressing the chronic housing shortfall for tribal communities. This initiative is notable not only for its focus on expanding homeownership and affordable rentals, but also for its long-term strategy: building a skilled local workforce to construct and maintain housing stock. Pairing supply with self-reliance ensures solutions don’t just meet today’s need but create generational stability and opportunity. | ||

The project offers a blueprint for future developments like Farmington, where affordability and infrastructure must align. | ||
