City and county officials in western Wisconsin are said to be preparing a fair housing study for La Crosse and Monroe counties.  A Tuesday night public meeting was held in La Crosse to get input on the area’s housing situation.  The last official study was done in 2009, but officials say they know housing has changed significantly in the ensuing nine years.  The study will check to see if everyone in the two counties has similar housing choice, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, religion, whether they have children, or whether they are disabled.
