Housing Toolbox Polk County, Wisconsin
This Housing Toolbox is a brief list of resources, key partners, programs, and policy alternatives that may be considered by the residents, communities, developers, and other partner organizations of Polk County to address housing needs and meet local housing-related goals. This document is a supplement to the Polk County Housing Study reports, which assess the housing supply and demand for Polk County and selected communities. These Housing Study reports included recommendations to address housing gaps and needs, largely drawn from alternatives within this Toolbox.
This Housing Toolbox is an overview of the more common tools. It does not include all available alternatives and resources; this document should not stifle local creativity and partnership opportunities in addressing local housing needs. Further, many alternatives can be customized for specific local circumstances. If you have questions, more information regarding most tools, resources, and partner contacts can be found through a quick Internet search. Please feel free to also contact the West Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (715-836-2918) for additional information.
