UW Prof argues for quality, affordable workforce housing
9 Oct 2020
News, Wisconsin
Inadequate workforce housing in Wisconsin contributes to homelessness, high living costs, long commute times and health risks, according to UW-Madison Prof. Kurt Paulsen.
Workforce housing, loosely defined as housing that is affordable to people in lower- and middle- income levels, is meant to allow people to work and live in the same area for a reasonable price.
Paulsen, an associate professor of housing, land use and municipal finance, explained that while most workforce housing is meant to house people within the workforce, it is also meant to house people who aren’t in the workforce and need affordable housing.
