Advocacy

The Partnership helps raise awareness of the affordable housing shortage, putting a face on housing need and demonstrating to Wisconsin residents and government officials that the continuing lack of affordable housing affects all of us.

Advocacy means more than trying to increase the amount of money available to build affordable housing and revitalize neighborhoods. To the Partnership, housing advocacy means changing the way people think about housing and neighborhoods and building strong coalitions to develop more effective policy and programs.

All of our advocacy efforts carry the message that better, more affordable housing and stronger neighborhoods benefit everyone. To increase affordable housing options and build stronger neighborhood, the whole community needs to share the responsibility.
