| Block Clubs |
Block clubs are low maintenance and fun ways to get to know your
neighbors and proactively make your neighborhood that ideal
place you want to live. On blocks with block clubs, neighbors have
stronger social connections, which makes living on their block
more enjoyable, fun, and safe!
Block groups consist of neighbors living in the same area who
want to take action and address their visions and concerns in an
effective way. With the help of organized block groups,
neighborhoods become safe and healthy living communities for
children, adults, and seniors. When desired, LBWN staff will meet
neighbors and proactively make your neighborhood that ideal
place you want to live. On blocks with block clubs, neighbors have

Beautify the area you live in! Block Improvement Projects are a fun way
to unite neighbors and enhance the positive identity of a block. Garden
projects, porch projects, and solar alley lighting projects are examples
of what active block groups have done before.
Neighborhoods with well kept homes, lawns, and gardens not only
increase the level of pride neighbors have for their community but it
also brings responsible homeowners into our neighborhood and deters
crime! Organize your neighbors to do a block project today!

Greenfield Station TIN
If your home is located between 35th Street on the West and Layton Boulevard, and between Scott Street
and Mitchell Street, your home is located within the new Greenfield Station TIN!
The TIN program is through the City of Milwaukee's NIDC department and is the best home rehabilitation
resource for low-middle income families and responsible investor owners. Program guidelines differ for
owner occupant and investor owners, but with both programs property owners are eligible for up to $25,000
in forgivable and low interest loans from the City. Half of the project cost, up to $10,000 is completely
forgiven after 5 years.
