Blog Changes

Regular readers may recall that this blog originally started as a blog of the Waukesha County Affordable Housing Taskforce, which later changed to the Affordable Housing Taskforce in Waukesha County.  Although housing issues are regularly discussed in this blog, there has not been much news on the Taskforce's activities.

Part of this is because the members of the taskforce have been involved in an introspective discussion of our activities and our mission.  While we will continue to advocate for a Housing Trust Fund in Waukesha County (see our very first post), we are evolving to advocate for better housing policies in Waukesha County. 

As part of the change in our mission, we are transitioning to a new name and a new website.  We are very excited about the change to Thrive Waukesha, and hope that you can be part of it. 

Our mission is to promote communities in Waukesha County that thrive because people are able to live and work in them.

And what will happen to Creating Communities?  For the moment, it'll continue as a housing issues blog, although no longer officially affiliated with Thrive Waukesha, and I'll certainly post updates here on what is happening with Thrive Waukesha.  In the long term,  Creating Communities may evolve into a blog about creating better communities through better policies, not just in housing, but also other areas as well, particularly disability-related issues.  I hope to recruit guest bloggers to discuss specific issues now and then.
