Description

What's being done to address the local housing shortage. 

In 2019, the Chippewa Valley Housing Task Force found that housing supply in the community was insufficient for every income level and housing type. With the population continuing to grow and workforce issues mounting, we'll take a look at the current situation and potential solutions being pursued to address our regional housing shortage. 

Focusing primarily on supply challenges, we'll learn more about the recent report released by the League of Wisconsin Municipalities that addresses housing affordability, look at the current market situation in the community for real estate and multi-family housing, and get perspectives on the challenges of creating new housing inventory in the current environment. Among our panel will be Cody Filipczak, Owner, C&M Homes & Real Estate; Taylor Graybehl, Associate Planner, City of Eau Claire; Bruce King, Government Affairs Director, REALTORS® Association of Northwestern Wisconsin; Brendan Pratt, Mayor of Altoona; Pat Smith, President, Chippewa Valley Home Builders Assn.; and Dante Tomassoni, COO of Development, P&R Companies.
