News & Notes
Community Advocates hosts Berrada Application Appointments for tenants seeking income-based housing in Milwaukee. This program is part of the Wisconsin Department of Justice's (DOJ) settlement with Berrada Properties and is monitored by both the DOJ and the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection.
Each month, Berrada Properties is required to send Community Advocates a list of 25 available units until 300 units are filled. As of September 2025, 82 people have been approved and 52 of those individuals have moved in.
On Thursday, October 23, Community Advocates hosted a Lunch and Learn for community partners on Healthy Relationships and Breaking the Cycle of Violence. October is recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and as a topic Community Advocates and the Milwaukee Women's Center are working within and deeply dedicated to, it was important to us to provide a baseline of information and resources for others in the community. Through education and support, violence and abuse are preventable, and healthy relationships are possible.
