Milwaukee’s homelessness problem is significant and growing. In the last couple of years, Nia Imani Family calls for housing have increased 50% compared to past years.
Our clients have some of the most troubled, traumatic histories of any group. These mothers’ troubles will become their children’s troubles, unless the cycle is broken. Few, if any, Milwaukee organizations help address this range of profound and chronic needs onsite, while also providing safe housing.
