Affordable Housing at the Indianhead Motel
| We are excited to announce that Hope Village has officially purchased the historic Indianhead Motel in Chippewa Falls! Thanks to the generous support of a Community Development Block Grant, along with contributions from Rutledge Charities and the Casper Foundation, this project is well underway. We are currently working to secure the final portion of funding through WHEDA (Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority). Once complete, each of the 27 motel units will be converted into efficiency apartments to provide much-needed affordable and workforce housing for our community. By early August, we will begin the bidding process by issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to local construction firms. If you or someone you know is part of a construction firm interested in submitting a bid, please contact us, and we will be happy to provide a bid packet. We hope to start the conversion process in October and complete it by April 2026. |
