Yes to

Housing

Say “yes to housing” and find solutions to the growing housing crisis in Northeast Wisconsin

Did you know that Wisconsin lags behind the national average in population growth and ranks 40th in U.S. job growth? 

– Low housing inventory, rising rent, and escalating home values are hindering our business community’s ability to recruit workers.

– If Wisconsin doesn’t recruit workers from other areas, the state’s prime working age population will likely shrink by 130,000 by 2030.

It is critically important that our communities prioritize housing solutions for our workforce so that our businesses can thrive and remain competitive.
