ABOUT

This guide was created to support efforts to fill the gap in permanent, attainable housing inventory for people in five counties in Western Wisconsin: Dunn, Pierce, Pepin, Polk, and St. Croix.

By narrowing our target market to households with an income of approximately $53,000-76,000 in Polk/Dunn/Pepin Counties and $74,000-99,000 in Pierce/St. Croix Counties, the aim is to create housing priced between $160,000 -$250,000 in Polk/Dunn/Pepin Counties, and up to $300,000 in Pierce/St. Croix Counties. Note these ranges are based on data from 2023 and are subject to change.

This guide can support municipalities that have identified a need for more housing inventory in this range to be the right partners together to address the issue.
