Prairie du Chien Housing
Needs Assessment
This assessment is the
culmination of a year-long study by Community Development Alternatives, Inc,
under contract with the City of Prairie du Chien. The purpose of the study
is “to identify housing trends, project housing needs to assist government,
developers, and other private or public entities to develop or encourage
development of housing, and to address identified needs.”
To complete the study, Community
Development Alternatives, Inc assembled housing trend information from the
State of Wisconsin Demographic Services and U.S. Census Bureau; conducted a
Citywide housing survey of renters and homeowners; and met with several
focus groups that deal with housing issues, including realtors, bankers,
renters, landlords, social services, and other agencies.
The City of Prairie du Chien
Common Council accepted the report at their meeting on July 7, 2009.
