Community-Oriented Solutions to Housing & Health Issues

Klaudia Rixmann, Client Specialist at Revitalize Milwaukee.

Milwaukee is a city segregated by income and race. This inequitable landscape contributes to issues in housing and health, that when compounded can lead to the loss of a home and the weakening of a community fabric. Revitalize Milwaukee provides 14 programs and services for older adults, veterans, people living with disabilities, children, and pregnant people that maintain homeownership, stabilize neighborhoods, and create safer, healthier homes. Our programs include no-cost Critical Home Repairs and Accessibility Modifications, Asthma Safe Homes, and Lead Abatement. Keeping homeowners in their homes, improving indoor air quality, and removing lead in homes supports the socioeconomic development of Milwaukee.

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held at 10:00 a.m. September through May. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
