Amid housing crisis, Madison City Council member proposes broad housing task force

Ald. Amani Latimer Burris, 12th District, introduced a resolution at Tuesday’s council meeting to create a task force including members of multiple city committees, four council members and a representative from UW-Madison’s Division of University Housing.

“The affordable housing crisis is something we’ve got to attack,” Latimer Burris said. “We have a lot of committees. We spend a lot of time studying stuff. In the meantime, prices are getting out of hand. What’s the answer? I don’t know.”
