Affordable Housing in Madison, Wisconsin: an Analysis of Four Proposed Sites
Abstract
The city of Madison, Wisconsin has been engaged in facilitating the construction of
affordable housing developments in order to support low-income residents of the city. Madison’s
established Affordable Housing Fund has reserved funds to subsidize affordable housing
developments. In 2019, four affordable housing developing have received funding: The Ace
Apartments, Valor on Washington, Bayview Foundation, Schroeder Road Apartments. Our study
analyzes each location and their proximity to outside amenities, such as bus stops, grocery stores,
schools, childcare facilities, health facilities and parks. Our analysis displays ideal locations for
developments and discusses the complex relationships between city officials and private
developers. While each development has received funding for the following 2019 calendar, our
study discusses the advantages and disadvantages for each new development.
