Rehabilitation of old Health Clinic into new housing

An old medical clinic in the south side of Milwaukee got a second life as a studio apartment building providing supportive housing for people who were homeless.  Mercy Housing Lakefront , a non-profit in Chicago, put together the financing to make the project happen, with services being provided by Hope House of Milwaukee (disclosure: I am a board member).

Supportive housing has been proven to work better than any of the alternative, as part of the rapid re-housing strategy being embraced nation-wide to get people who are homeless off the streets as soon as possible. 

Congratulations to Mercy Housing Lakefront and to Hope House for the successful grand opening, and many thanks to the many people who made this happen.
