| Congress tackles housing supply but major cost barriers remain | ||
Leo's notes: Wisconsin communities continue to demonstrate that meaningful progress depends on aligning financing, zoning, infrastructure, and public-private partnerships to make projects financially feasible. Expanding housing supply will require coordinated action at every level of government, with local leadership remaining the decisive factor in turning policy into completed homes...

| How could Dane County fix its first-time homebuyer woes? | ||
Leo's notes: Expanding the supply of starter homes, townhomes, condominiums, and other "missing middle" housing will be essential if communities hope to restore homeownership as an achievable pathway to financial stability for the next generation. Ken Notes: The key here is that ALL the players need to be at the same table with the same objective in mind. Government can not solve the problem, neither can developers, builders, bankers, or the dozens of organizations and businesses with housing on their agendas. But working together we can get this moving forward. | ||

| Bay Vue rises, but Ashland County's affordable housing need remains | ||
Leo's notes: individual housing projects are important milestones, but they are not, by themselves, solutions to the state's housing shortage. Communities of every size continue to report demand that far exceeds available housing. Closing the gap will require sustained investment, creative financing, adaptive reuse, local leadership, and a pipeline of projects that serve households across the workforce income spectrum... | ||

| Mobile home park rent increases; Union Grove woman's effort to cap them | ||
Ken Notes: Investors buying mobile home parks and then jacking up the rents should be a crime, and failing to maintain the infrastructure IS a crime. I understand business but profit from those who can least afford it is wrong. We need to fix this! | ||

| Four new tiny homes now open to veterans in need, marking the largest expansion at the village in Racine | ||
Ken Notes: One "tiny" piece of the puzzle but our vets deserve a home as much as the rest of us. This is not the housing solution but we tend to think in terms of what we need not what others need. | ||
