The Strong Neighborhoods Program 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 both them and their homes. The Strong Neighborhoods initiative will assist with property maintenance order compliance. The new programs will be financed through a TIF financing law known as the “Affordable Housing Extension” that allows the extension of a TIF to benefit a municipalities 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.
Milwaukee County Home Repair Program. The Milwaukee County Housing Division provides a Home Repair program funded by federal CDBG and HOME funds by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in suburban County communities excluding the Cities of West Allis and Milwaukee. The program offers 0% interest loans to income-qualified homeowners to make necessary repairs, correct code violations, and receive accessibility modifications. Staff assists clients by creating a detailed scope of work and works with private contractors to receive bids for the work to be done. Homeowner(s) review bids received and select a contractor from cost reasonable bids. Once a contractor is selected, the Homeowner(s) will sign a Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with the County. The loan is secured by a Lien on the owner’s real estate. The County will facilitate an agreement with the contractor for the work to be completed per the scope. After the project is completed, the County pays contractors from loan funds. The Homeowner(s) pay the County back according to the terms of the loan. Please call (414) 278-4917 if you are interested in applying for the program. For more information, please read this CDBG Home Repair Flyer.

Rental of a whole or partial residence to visitors for less than a month is commonly known as a Short Term Rental (STR). The legal term in Wisconsin is a Tourist Rooming House (TRH). Wisconsin allows the rental of one to four sleeping accommodations, which can be rooms of a home or an entire home. All Village of West Milwaukee TRHs must be licensed through the West Allis Health Department and inspected annually to verify the operation meets all requirements of Wisconsin law related to general public health.

Even if a product says it is “flushable”… Unless it is toilet paper, it should NOT be flushed!
“Out of sight and out of mind,” was the thought that many of us grew up with and it continues today. This concept has probably led to many issues, but now a costly problem for All of us. The wipes or other items that are flushed can create sewer back-ups and problems with the building plumbing systems.
The disposable wipes can be grouped together from baby wipes, kitchen and bathroom cleaning wipes, paper towels, facial tissues, diaper liners, etc. Products like diapers, feminine hygiene products, floor cleaning wipes, and assorted hand towels all add to the list. These are not meant to be flushed. The only paper product meant to be flushed is old-fashioned toilet paper, no matter what the manufacturer puts on the label.
Just because a product label reads, flushable, doesn’t mean it should be flushed. Currently, a product can say flushable, if it’s placed in the toilet, the lever is pushed and the wipe goes down out of sight and mind.
Flushable does not mean that it is biodegradable or can break down into tiny particles…To avoid problems just remember “No Wipes Down the Pipes”
Thank you!
