| Work begins on Eastmorland Community Center | ||
Leo`s notes: The Eastmorland Community Center and Housing Development represents exactly the kind of smart, small-scale investment Madison needs: 25 workforce units tied directly to community amenities and youth programming. By blending housing with schools, arts, and 4H, this project strengthens neighborhood fabric while tackling affordability head-on. It’s a model worth replicating across Wisconsin—building homes and connections at the same time... Ken Notes: We need to build communities not just housing. I would also like to see more diverse socioeconomic neighborhoods... | ||

| Workforce housing project in Sister Bay to support local families | ||
Leo`s notes: In a county where workers are often priced out by vacation rentals, Door County’s Housing Partnership is proving that modest, targeted investments can make a huge difference. With state grant support, the group is turning a $100,000 land purchase in Sister Bay into 10 permanently affordable homes. This project shows how local collaboration and ownership models can keep families rooted in the community and strengthen the local workforce. | ||

| Madison congregation aims to build affordable housing atop new church building | ||
Leo`s notes: By combining a new sanctuary with deeply affordable housing, St. John’s is living its mission and modeling how faith communities can leverage land for the greater good. In a city where nearly half of renters are cost-burdened, this project (10 story development with 110/130 reserved for affordable housing) shows how creative partnerships and moral leadership can transform barriers into opportunities for community stability and dignity. Ken Notes: Thumbs up. I do respect those who practice what they preach and in this case literally. | ||

| Milwaukee Tool To Add 300 Jobs To Wisconsin Workforce | ||
Leo’s notes: Backed by WEDC tax credits, the project will create 300 new positions and deepen the company’s century-long roots in the state. Workforce growth like this is a reminder that job creation AND housing supply must advance together if Wisconsin is to fully capitalize on these economic gains. | ||

| Mayor Rhodes-Conway prioritizes infrastructure, affordable housing in 2026 Executive Capital Budget | ||
Leo`s notes: Madison’s newly unveiled 2026 Capital Budget makes a bold statement: affordable housing is infrastructure. By committing $17.5 million to the Affordable Housing Fund, advancing the 1,200-unit Triangle redevelopment, and pairing housing growth with investments in parks, libraries, and childcare training, the city is aligning fiscal discipline with community priorities. For housing advocates, this plan reinforces a critical truth—affordability, accessibility, and equity aren’t side projects, they’re foundational to a resilient city. | ||
