Read the article by Addie Costello: wisconsinwatch.org/2025/09/wisc...

@wisconsinwatch.org recently cited our I'm HOME network's research on the costs of manufactured housing in the state. Today Wisconsin owners of manufactured homes pay a median of $553 per month for housing, compared to $1,118 for all homeowners and $917 for all renters.

The consortium team facilitated interactive sessions on sorting driving forces, building scenario narratives, and developing strategies to address uncertain futures.
A group of five people stand around a table in a bright conference room, concentrating on an exercise with blue cards laid out on the table. Papers, notebooks, coffee cups, and water bottles are scattered across the table. Large windows in the background reveal tall city buildings.

Last month, the Consortium for Scenario Planning joined the kick-off of the latest Lincoln Vibrant Communities cohort in Chicago to bring Exploratory Scenario Planning (XSP) into practice.
Participants sit in rows of chairs at tables facing a large screen that reads “What is Scenario Planning?” with a colorful illustration of forests, rivers, and hazards like wildfire and flooding. Two presenters stand at the front, one holding a microphone. The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy logo is visible on the slide.
