MADISON, WI – The Madison Housing Coalition announces the return of Madison Housing Week, a week-long series of events and discussions focused on housing issues, innovation, and accessibility in our community. From Sunday, Oct. 19 through Saturday, Oct. 25, residents are invited to participate in daily in-person sessions across the city and virtual lunchtime events designed to spark dialogue and inspire action.
Now in its second year, Madison Housing Week brings together housing advocates, designers, builders, and community members to explore solutions to Madison’s housing challenges. The event is coordinated by the Madison Housing Coalition, a partnership of AARP Wisconsin, the Realtors Association of South Central Wisconsin (RASCW), the Madison Area Builders Association, and the Madison Area Community Land Trust.
“AARP Wisconsin is proud to be a collaborative partner with the other organizations to foster a community conversation on a topic that affects us all,” said Darrin Wasniewski, Senior Associate State Director for Community Outreach at AARP Wisconsin.
“We’ve heard from older adults in Madison who recognize that their current home no longer suits their needs, but they are limited by the lack of options to remain in their neighborhoods and within their social circles. We look forward to learning from all those who have stepped up to share their knowledge and experience on housing matters,” Wasniewski said.
Event highlights include…
