10/8/2025	0	HOUSING AUTHORITY	ADOPTED; Minutes note: Jeanne Dawson, HACM’s Program Specialist, explained that these properties have remained vacant because they are deemed uninhabitable. The estimated repair costs exceed $100,000 per property, and the Scattered Sites program cannot spend that much per house. Ms. Dawson further noted that the properties were offered to ACTS Housing and Habitat for Humanity for one dollar, on the condition that they rehabilitate the homes and lease them to income-eligible households, however, both organizations declined the offer. As a result, HACM must proceed with selling the properties at their appraised value, pending HUD approval. Commissioners offered several suggestions to assist Ms. Dawson with the sale of the properties, including notifying the appropriate Alderperson and reaching out to other nonprofit organizations such as VIA CDC, the Clark Square Neighborhood Initiative and the Milwaukee Community Land Trust. They also requested input from HACM’s City Attorney, Greg Kruse, on how to ensure that, by selling on the open market, HACM is not inadvertently contributing to neighborhood decline or unhealthy community conditions via out-of-state or investment rental landlords.
