STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – Stevens Point’s city council will consider creating an affordable housing task force. The Public Policy and General Government committee met on Monday. They made a recommendation to the Common Council to form the task force.
The task force would identify ways to improve current affordable housing by looking at ways to convert student rentals to owner-occupied or single-family rentals.
The task force would “…get a local group of a number of stakeholders together to identify ways we can reduce the barrier to developing more affordable housing throughout the community,” Ryan Kernosky, Director of Community Development at the City of Stevens Point, told WAOW-TV.
They have a list of 18 groups that should be included as part of the task force.
