Analysis

This resolution directs the Department of City Development to work with the Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation to explore additional philanthropic partnerships for funding the creation, maintenance, and staffing of Healing Spaces.

Body

Whereas, The City launched the Healing Space Initiative in January 2021, as a response to the isolation felt by City residents from quarantine and social distancing practices during the COVID-19 pandemic; and

 

Whereas, Under the direction of the Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation, the Healing Spaces Initiative helps residents build relaxing natural environments on City-owned vacant lots while eliminating blighted spaces and engaging residents; and

 

Whereas, Amenities at Healing Spaces include pathways, benches, perennial herb and flower gardens, shade sails, solar lights, meditation sign posts, and Little Free Libraries; and

 

Whereas, The 2024 Budget was adopted by Common Council File Number 230001 on November 3, 2023; and

 

Whereas, Amendment 10 placed a footnote in the 2024 Budget stating, “The Department of City Development shall work with the Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation to explore additional philanthropic partnerships for funding the creation, maintenance, and staffing of Healing Spaces”; now, therefore, be it

 

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Department of City Development is directed to work with the Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation to explore additional philanthropic partnerships for funding the creation, maintenance, and staffing of Healing Spaces.
