В Висконсине завершено финансирование второго этапа строительства доступного жилья Hope Village

Hope Village in Phase 2 of construction CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WEAU) - Hope Village now has a fully-funded Phase 2, allowing them to complete their affordable housing development on Hope Village Way. According to a press release from Hope Village, the development will include two six-unit apartment buildings and two duplex buildings. They will have four one-bedroom apartments, four two-bedroom apartments and eight three-bedroom apartments. They received their final award letter for $3.6 million through Wisconsin’s ARP HOME Rental Housing Development Program. 70% of units are reserved for individuals and families transitioning into stable housing, with the remaining units serving workforce housing needs in Chippewa County. Construction is set to start July 2026 and be completed in April 2027. Another project taking place is the renovation of the former Indianhead Motel, which began in 2026 and is scheduled for completion in September of 2026. The project will create 26 efficiency apartments, with rents based on HUD affordable housing guidelines. The development is well suited for seniors and individuals with mobility challenges seeking affordable, accessible housing, since all of the units are on the ground floor. Other plans include installing a children’s playground in summer of 2027 and a multipurpose community building scheduled to begin in spring 2027 and end in fall of 2027. “What we’ve found is a lot of the folks that we house here in our tiny houses, they may have vehicles, but they’re not terribly dependable. And one way to make them last longer is to help our folks that are here learn how to do maintenance on their vehicles. So, there will be an area for that,” said Mike Cohoon, Executive Director, Hope Village. Cohoon says as Hope Village expands, the more volunteers are needed.
