Imagine if all residents can live in a good home they can afford. Our region is composed of households across the income spectrum, and it’s getting harder to find these homes.

High-quality, stable housing is central to the health and wellbeing of all families in our communities. A new Fox Cities and Greater Outagamie County Regional Housing Strategy was developed in 2022 as the result of a study done in our communities. Over the next decade, our region needs roughly 11-thousand to nearly 18 thousand new dwelling units just to keep up with the estimated population growth. In this episode, we’ll discuss the plan forward, thanks to the many who are coming together to take on the challenge. Do you have a role to play in this path forward?
