Laramie, WY – Affordable housing advocates say some low-income residents of the state are living in bad housing conditions, and the state should do more to help. Forest Neuerburg of the Wyoming Housing Network says there's nothing wrong with trailer parks per se, but some of those trailers are too old. He says the state could provide more funding to the Wyoming Community Development Authority in the form of grants or low-interest loans. That could help get more affordable housing built.
