UW-Extension

We are pleased to invite you to the Wisconsin Rural Regional Housing Summit Series on May 6, 2025. This summit is a key opportunity for state and local leaders to collaborate on addressing rural housing challenges and explore practical strategies for increasing housing availability and access across Wisconsin.

According to the UW-Extension website this series of regional workshops is intended to build local capacity, facilitate regional partnerships, and strengthen local connections to state and federal agencies. Presenters will review data, strategies and case studies that provide direction for rural communities to increase housing availability and access. Each event will be tailored to address local issues of concern with formal presentations, panel discussions, networking opportunities, and resource takeaways. These events will take place over two years and will include four regional events: Ashland, Hillsboro, Lac du Flambeau/Rhinelander, and Wisconsin
Rapids/Stevens Point.
