Local Partnership Design and Support

Assembling the right combination of people and resources is essential to addressing local or regional housing problems. The Partnership has experience in working with state and local governments and public agencies to design and implement local or regional housing partnerships.

Whoever we work with—metropolitan areas, counties, cities, villages or towns—we know how to bring private sector capital and nonprofit skills to the table to design a comprehensive approach. As each new partnership takes shape, we collect and analyze relevant information, then devise successful strategies for developing or rehabilitating housing, expanding home ownership, and preserving affordable housing. The result is a housing program designed specifically to address area needs.

Since 1996, funding from HUD has allowed the Partnership to provide technical assistance at no cost to Wisconsin Participating Jurisdictions (PJs—cities or other government entities eligible to use federal HOME funds). We have worked successfully with most of the PJs in the state on local or regional housing issues.

Whether as a consultant or a PJ technical assistance provider, we have helped launch a number of comprehensive housing partnerships in Wisconsin and in other parts of the country.
