Housing Action Team Meeting

Our homes are key to our health, yet an increasing number of Sauk County residents are not able to afford housing. Housing instability is a public health problem that both causes and makes worse health problems, erodes communities, and drives health inequities. Families grappling with housing uncertainty experience physical and mental health challenges, from elevated rates of childhood and chronic disease and mortality to stress, depression, anxiety, and suicide. Those who lack stable housing are more likely to experience homelessness, unemployment, substance use, food insecurity and violence.

Join us to bring community members together to dig deeper into the problem statement: 1 in 4 Sauk County households are stressed by high housing costs.
