Housing Programs and Services
Thriving communities start with suitable housing for all
People who live in the Western U.P. want to see the region thriving: a place where people love to live, work, and play.
WUPPDR and our partners are working to address one critical step toward realizing that vision by supporting housing programs and services across the Western U.P. Read on to learn more about the housing programs we are supporting in your area.
When everyone has suitable housing options:
Seniors can “age in community”
With suitable housing options, your parents, grandparents, and other elders in our community can age in community—downsizing without leaving the neighborhood they know and love. The grandkids can visit regularly, keeping generations connected and neighborhoods closely knit.
Young people can settle in their hometown
You have likely experienced a young person in your life—maybe your friend, child, or grandchild—leaving the community because they can’t find an affordable home. With suitable housing options for people at all stages of life, young people can settle near friends and family.
Employers can attract the best talent
With affordable workforce housing options, businesses can attract the best talent to the area, contributing to the local economy. Having suitable housing options near workplaces also reduces commute times, improving the workers’ quality of life, all while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion.
