We believe strong communities thrive from within.
That’s why we work closely with residents and community leaders in three distinct Milwaukee neighborhoods dedicated to neighborhood revitalization. The programs and projects we support offer residents access to valuable tools and skills that will help them reach their goals. But, direct programmatic support isn’t enough. We believe that achieving long-term, sustainable impact starts with the development of strong community leaders who become champions for the residents and their shared goals.
Revitalizing Our Neighborhoods
Since 2013, we have worked to revitalize three Milwaukee neighborhoods. Each are communities far too familiar with racial and economic injustices. Our goal has been and continues to be building capacity in residents, leaders, and organizations so they can realize their community vision. We believe a long term, resident-led approach is critical to reversing the root causes of these challenges.
Together, with our valued partners, we are enhancing the following three communities with programs dedicated to safe neighborhoods, healthy and thriving youth, strong families and quality education. Each has developed a revitalization plan to guide their actions to sustainable change.
