Minutes note: In a letter submitted to the city of Milwaukee Housing Trust Fund Board by Mr. Steven Mahan on behalf of the Milwaukee City & County Continuum of Care Lead Agency.
Mr. Mahan requested funding for expanded capacity of existing cold weather Warning Rooms. He requested Seventy Five Thousand dollars ($75,000) for the use of expanding the capacity of Warming Rooms within the city of Milwaukee the allocation of these funds will provide expanded capacity in the form of additional beds, staff and supplies. Additionally, funding will expand the temperature threshold to allow more days operations.
The intend recipients of the funding are the following:
Adullam Family Warming Center
Population: Families with Children
3033 N 30th Street
Repairers of the Breach
Population: singles (Male and Female)
1335 W Vliet Street
St. Benedict the Moor
Population: singles (Male and Female)
1015 N 9th Street
The grantee fiscal agend will be Community Advocates, Inc.
Increase of services due to additional funds
Beds: Fifty (50)
Additional days of service: Adullam (15 days)
Repairers of the Breach (30 days)
St. Benedict (30 days)
It was moved by Mr. Haywood, seconded by Ms. Schneider-Peragine that Mr. Mahan's request be accepted and that Common Council File Number 181314 - Resolution authorizing an appropriation from the Housing Trust fund relating to homelessness; be approve. There were no objections.
Mr. Mahan and Mr. Higgins also shared a list of agencies awarded Housing Trust Fund monies with work-in-progress status. The hope is that, although these circumstantial efforts would only provide for a temporary solution, it is not in the best interest of the Housing Trust Fund to use their funds for this type of purpose as regular practice.
