MADISON, WI Running on solar power has always been part of the plan for Occupy Madison.
And now, as part of Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway s federal COVID-19 aid proposal, that dream will be fulfilled for the housing nonprofit. Occupy Madison, best known for its tiny house villages, has long prioritized economic and environmental sustainability, Bruce Wallbaum, one of the nonprofit s co-founders, told Patch.
The nonprofit will receive $150,000 as part of the disbursement of federal funds by the city, which will cover the entire project. Two solar arrays will be installed atop the main buildings which are used for shared facilities and gift shops of each respective village. The two villages are located at 304 North Third Street and 1901 Aberg Avenue.

MADISON, Wis. – Madison’s Common Council is set to vote on a proposal potentially ending a homeless encampment at Reindahl Park.
The proposal, backed by District 17 Alder Gary Halverson, would circumvent the need to go through committees, meaning if it gets 14 votes Tuesday night, it could be put into effect immediately.
Halverson’s proposal seeks to return the park to its primary use, disbanding the camp and moving those living there full time to another location on the city’s southeast side.
“I speak for the voices of district 17,” Halverson said. “Who all support helping those experiencing homeless, but want the park returned to its intended use.”
