Rural communities face the challenge all the time.  Create jobs - but have no place suitable for your workers to live nearby.

Southwest Wisconsin experienced those same challenges, but have come up with a solution that will be welcoming residents beginning in October.

Cinnaire Community Development partnered with SWCAP, Southwest Wisconsin Community Action Program, to create affordable housing for farm workers in Lafayette County.  It's the first project of its kind in the state, according to Nicole Solheim, Vice President of Development for Cinnaire.

The housing project, called "The Meadows" is located in the community of Darlington and will offer 32 units for occupancy by farm workers that qualify.  It's new construction that has both two and three bedroom configurations.  Applications are still being taken for townhouses that will be completed by late November.
