Housing Affordability Reports

In 2018, the Wisconsin State Legislature approved new legislation that requires villages and cities of 10,000 in population or more to provide two separate annual reports related to housing affordability and housing fees.  This is in an effort to shed light and potentially foster change on affordable housing issues across the state.  The City of Waupun, along with 11 other communities in the region, elected to contract with East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (ECWRPC) to prepare these reports.  As such, a Housing Report Advisory Team was created so that input and feedback from all communities could be considered as the reports were prepared. 

The City of Waupun also created an internal team to gather data, discuss impacts, trends, processes and implementation. The internal team had members from the following departments: Building Inspector, Economic Development, Public Works, and Utilities. 

Specifically, these documents meet the requirements for Wis. Stats. 66.10013 (Housing Affordability Report) and Wis. Stats. 66.10014 (New Housing Fee Report).
