Use the zip code finder in the shared post to see what one must earn to afford a two bedroom apartment in your community. The results may surprise you.

What must one earn in order to afford a two bedroom apartment in your zip code? Use the link in the comments to type in your zip code and discover what the hourly wage should be to afford a two bedroom apartment in your community.

The price of renting a two bedroom apartment has gone up significantly over the past five years. For too many families this has left housing out of reach.

This tool is created by the National Low Income Housing Coalition who creates a report every year which shows the gap in wages and housing costs across the country.

All of the housing service providers meet monthly. The continuum of care is a network of agencies who are responding to poverty and housing issues to work collaboratively.

This past week we invited the city of Waukesha mayoral candidates to discuss and dialogue about homelessness, housing, domestic violence, food, health care, aging, the relationship between government and nonprofits and funding. Thank you to Alicia Halvensleben for Waukesha visiting with us. It was a wonderful conversation.

Scott Allen was invited but had another commitment.
