Housing & Independent Living 

Independent Housing

There are a variety of independent housing options in the La Crosse area.  If you are renting, you can also find affordable/limited income housing.  Use the La Crosse County Independent Housing Directory as a starting point for rental options. 

Adult Family Home

Adult Family Homes (AFH) are a type of assisted living facility that combines housing with services to help people remain as independent as possible.   Typically, only a few adults reside in a home and receive individualized care, treatment, or support services.  Some AFHs have the owner/licensee living on the premises and providing care to the residents.  Other AFHs are owned by an entity and provide shift staff.
