Supporting Homeowners​ and Renters

We also connect homeowners with financial literacy counselors for an understanding of homeownership expenses, including taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities. This consists of a review of each participant’s personal finances for budget development.
Amani Housing Strategy
In 2018, Milwaukee LISC provided the Dominican Center and Amani United with access to customized Loveland software, which was used to survey the condition of all 3,740 parcels in Amani. Following this evaluation, a new housing strategy was adopted in early 2019.
 
The strategy was developed in partnership with residents, stakeholders and community partners to address the critical need for quality and affordable housing in the Amani neighborhood. Currently focused on a single pilot block (2900 N. 26th Street), this plan is engaging current residents and partners to improve existing and new housing stock and expand the range of quality developments in our neighborhood.

Community Efforts

In partnership with other community organizations and nonprofits, we support:
  • Engaging residents in block beautification throughout Amani.​
  • Restoring block integrity to houses on the pilot block of the model block strategy.
  • Building the capacity of the lead organizations, residents and those working in Amani to support the goals of the Amani Housing Strategy.​​
