Looking for resources to help with minor repairs on your home? Or looking to make your home more
energy efficient? These housing resources may be able to help!
Block groups are a great way to get to know your neighbors and
proactively make your neighborhood that ideal place you want to
live. Block groups consist of neighbors living on the same block
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
occasionally meet with block group members to talk about any
issues that have come up or any ideas, such as a spring clean up
or a block party, that have peaked members interest. Click here to
start a block group today!
Block Improvement Projects
|
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.
