1
00:00:00,501 --> 00:00:01,001
In Wisconsin

2
00:00:01,068 --> 00:00:02,402
home prices have risen

3
00:00:02,469 --> 00:00:03,871
much faster than income

4
00:00:03,937 --> 00:00:04,705
according to

5
00:00:04,771 --> 00:00:06,607
the Wisconsin Policy Forum.

6
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:07,407
That freezes

7
00:00:07,474 --> 00:00:08,242
out renters

8
00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:09,209
from creating

9
00:00:09,276 --> 00:00:10,544
generational wealth

10
00:00:10,611 --> 00:00:12,112
through homeownership.

11
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:13,180
But there are innovative

12
00:00:13,247 --> 00:00:14,481
ideas to get people

13
00:00:14,548 --> 00:00:15,616
into their own homes

14
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:17,184
like land trusts

15
00:00:17,251 --> 00:00:18,285
where the buyer gets

16
00:00:18,352 --> 00:00:19,286
a mortgage for the

17
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:20,487
home only, and then

18
00:00:20,554 --> 00:00:21,455
leases the land

19
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:21,989
under it

20
00:00:22,055 --> 00:00:23,423
from a nonprofit.

21
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:24,258
The result?

22
00:00:24,324 --> 00:00:26,026
Affordable home ownership.

23
00:00:26,093 --> 00:00:27,027
Why it's so appealing

24
00:00:27,094 --> 00:00:28,762
to us is the idea

25
00:00:29,329 --> 00:00:30,197
that we will be able

26
00:00:30,264 --> 00:00:31,698
to set aside

27
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:33,000
a certain number of homes

28
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:34,434
that will remain

29
00:00:34,501 --> 00:00:35,669
relatively affordable

30
00:00:35,736 --> 00:00:36,637
forever.

31
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:37,471
There's a number

32
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:38,138
of strategies

33
00:00:38,205 --> 00:00:39,239
that we deploy currently

34
00:00:39,306 --> 00:00:40,374
within the city of Green Bay

35
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,775
and that are common

36
00:00:41,842 --> 00:00:43,177
I think, across the country

37
00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:44,444
but oftentimes

38
00:00:44,511 --> 00:00:45,078
those periods

39
00:00:45,145 --> 00:00:45,913
of affordability

40
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:47,347
are limited to

41
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:49,583
15 years or a couple decades

42
00:00:49,650 --> 00:00:50,751
or something like that.

43
00:00:50,817 --> 00:00:51,685
With the community land

44
00:00:51,752 --> 00:00:53,754
trust model, because

45
00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:56,023
the rate of appreciation

46
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:57,524
is managed a bit

47
00:00:57,591 --> 00:00:58,592
and regulated a bit

48
00:00:58,659 --> 00:00:59,493
for those

49
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,827
who own these homes

50
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:02,596
these homes will

51
00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:04,298
especially in the long term

52
00:01:04,364 --> 00:01:05,866
be a lot more affordable

53
00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:07,467
when you compare them

54
00:01:07,534 --> 00:01:08,101
to other homes

55
00:01:08,168 --> 00:01:08,936
that are available

56
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:11,138
on the private market.
