Strong Neighborhoods is an initiative developed by the Village of West Milwaukee to help increase the attractiveness of West Milwaukee housing stock. Strong Neighborhoods aims to work with citizens to invest in them and their homes. The Strong Neighborhoods initiative will assist with residential exterior housing improvements and property maintenance compliance. The new program is financed through a TIF financing law known as the “Affordable Housing Extension” which allows the extension of a TIF to benefit a municipality’s housing stock. Funds for these programs will be available in the form of grants as outlined in State Statute 66.1105. Investing in the Village’s housing stock will result in a ripple effect that will benefit everyone within the Village. Please see the links below for more information.
