It’s no secret that in Milwaukee, out-of-state investors have been buying up housing inventory to turn into rentals. That means less housing stock for people who want to become homeowners. One non-profit is trying to counter that trend and get more Milwaukeeans owning their own homes in the city.  WUWM has been examining systemic housing problems – and solutions – for more affordable housing in our series, Seeking Solutions: Keys to Homeownership. A s part of the series WUWM’s Maayan Silver has this report on ACTS Housing.
