LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – La Crosse city leaders say we’re making progress when it comes to making affordable housing more available.
Earlier this week, the La Crosse Community Development Committee approved for a 65-unit affordable housing complex on 4th Street.
“It feels like we’re getting close,” city council president Barb Janssen said. “But there’s always room for improvement.”
