Dream Home Wisconsin
Although Dane County’s median household income is relatively high ($65,000) and its unemployment rate is low, significant racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities abound. For example, black household median income is approximately $30,000 and unemployment rates for people of color are often more than double rates for white people.
Over 50% of Dane county renters spend more than 30% of their household income on rent, and limited access to public transportation, services, and economic opportunities challenge rural communities. The DreamUp Wisconsin initiative will bring together Dane County’s strong community, business, government, and non-profit networks to partner with the University of Wisconsin–Madison to meet these challenges, and expand economic security and shared prosperity in the County. DreamUp Wisconsin is the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s (UW’s) implementation of The Alliance for the American Dream, a new community-university collaboration funded by Schmidt Futures that aims to promote shared prosperity and increase American competitiveness. UW is one of four public universities chosen by Schmidt Futures to partner in this work.
Schmidt Futures is a venture facility for public benefit that works to advance society through technology, inspire breakthroughs in scientific knowledge, and promote shared prosperity. The first challenge of The Alliance of the American Dream, and, thus, for DreamUp, is a call for proposals—whether policy ideas or investable concepts for public benefit—to raise net income by 10% for 10,000 middle class families in Dane County. Proposals may focus on increasing income or decreasing costs of living (e.g., child care, transportation, housing, energy). Proposals should be interdisciplinary, grounded in modern technological tools and data science, and both draw from and benefit a diverse set of people and communities. The UW Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) is excited to lead the initiative with its many campus partners, local organizations, government leaders, and community members. May–July 2018: IRP will facilitate community forums, meetings, and interviews, and engage in data analysis to help define and understand Dane County’s economic challenges. 2018: IRP will work with the campus and community to generate potential solutions and initial proposal ideas.

What makes it difficult for families to get ahead financially in Dane County?.
What could help families decrease their expenses or increase their incomes? These are the key questions of the DreamUp WI challenge, and understanding the needs of the Dane County community and which solutions will work for community members is crucial to our success. DreamUp Wisconsin graduate students spent the summer interviewing 168 Dane County residents at community centers, local businesses, libraries, schools, and public events to get their answers to these questions. Their findings are summarized in a. “We hope to reach out across all communities and make this as diverse as we can.
Clearly there’s divisions by race, there’s divisions by ethnicity, there’s divisions by geography when you look at incomes in Dane County. And one of the questions here is do we have some ideas as to what would work across all of those different areas? So I think the things we might end up test piloting are the ideas that we think will be really promising to decrease those divisions.” —University of Wisconsin Chancellor Rebecca Blank.
