Creating Communities Campaign Kick-Off

On Tuesday, December 2, the Affordable Housing Task Force will officially kick off its campaign for a housing trust fund! Join us for this event at Steinhafel's Furniture Superstore in Waukesha at 5:30-7:00 p. m. If you plan to attend, please preregister with Heather Dummer Combs at heatherdc@interfaithconference.org.

What is the Creating Communities Campaign?

The Waukesha County Affordable Housing Task Force is starting the Creating Communities Campaign blog as a way for supporters to connect around the issue of a housing trust fund in Waukesha County. The Creating Communities Campaign is an advocacy campaign of the task force, which includes members of faith communities, affordable housing advocates, and members of the business community.

We are advocating for the establishment of a housing trust fund at the county level to address the insufficiency of affordable housing. We have named the campaign to reflect our belief that increasing affordable housing will create true communities of people from various walks of life, living and working together in those communities. We hope this blog will give you information about the campaign, and give you the chance to ask questions and provide input into the campaign process.
