Main Page

This is a open site for housing and land-use issues. We invite anyone to start a new page or edit articles on topics related to creating more inclusive, affordable, equitable housing and communities.

This is the legacy site, built with MediaWiki software (like Wikipedia uses). Experimentally, new pages are now being started as, and key older pages converted to, Google Docs, formatted in a common way and with common navigation headers tying them together, reached by subdomain URLs, i.e. links in the form https://[ArticleTitle].housing.wiki, where [ArticleTitle] is the article title, with spaces removed, case insensitive. For example: https://socialhousing.housing.wiki.

To start or suggest a new page, copy HousingWiki page template GDoc and rename + edit it. Then contact editor@housing.wiki about how to incorporate it. It could be transferred so the GDoc is owned by HousingWiki, or it could remain owned by you. (so, effectively, this allows a type of decentralized / "federated wiki').
