Wisconsin’s Housing Crisis and Potential Policy Solutions

Virtual event | July 26, 2024 | 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

On July 26, our popular virtual event series Forum Friday focused on Wisconsin’s growing challenges in providing its residents with an adequate range of affordable housing options.

We began with a presentation detailing recent Forum research on housing, including this March report on how Wisconsin housing prices have risen much faster than incomes since 2017. Also on the agenda was a report analyzing Wisconsin’s trends in housing permitting, a key metric linked to new housing construction.

Our Forum Friday guests were:

Satya Rhodes-Conway Mayor City of Madison	Josh Schoemann County Executive Washington County	Teig Whaley-Smith Chief Alliance Executive Community Development Alliance (Milwaukee)

During Forum Fridays, we discuss a timely research topic and invite notable guests and Forum members to join the conversation. We hope this can be another way to keep you informed and connected on our state’s most pressing public policy issues. Stay tuned for more Forum Friday events in the near future!
