Housing Challenges in Menomonie

In 2024, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reported 18.1 per cent increase in the number of homeless people in the U.S. Housing has become a national problem – and Menomonie is part of that picture.

A group of concerned citizens from a non-profit local group called GROWW (Grass Roots Organization Western Wisconsin) has been working to draw attention to Menomonie’s housing problem. GROWW favors more grass-roots local control and citizen involvement.
