Analysis

Body
WHEREAS, The Community Development Alliance (CDA) is an affiliation of community development funders and practitioners that are advancing racial equity with a goal to providing a quality affordable home for every Milwaukeean; and
WHEREAS, to reach this goal, the CDA in partnership with stakeholders has developed Milwaukee’s Collective Affordable Housing Strategic Plan (the “Housing Plan”); and
WHEREAS, the Housing Plan is being developed using the Government Alliance on Race & Equity (GARE) Racial Equity Toolkit, which has included examination of the data, community engagement, and development of the equitable strategies and values listed in the Housing Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Housing Plan includes four Strategic Areas that align with the work of HACM, namely:
i. Black & Latino Homeownership - Offense. The production of additional units, promotion of homeownership, and assistance with purchase;
ii. Black & Latino Homeownership - Defense. The preservation of the ability of existing homeowners to stay in their homes, and other anti-displacement efforts;
iii. Rental Units for Families Making $7.25 - $15 per hour - Offense. The production of additional units, and the conversion of existing higher rent units to be lower rent;
iv. Rental Units for Families Making $7.25 - $15 per hour - Defense. The preservation of existing units, Eviction Reduction, and other anti-displacement efforts; and
WHEREAS, the recommended approaches for each Strategy Area listed in the Housing Plan will have a meaningful impact on the work HACM does, and the people HACM serves; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the Commissioners of the Authority that they hereby endorse the Collective Affordable Housing Strategic Plan and look forward to working with CDA to implement the approaches in the Plan.
