Leo’s notes: Milwaukee is taking another meaningful step toward rebuilding housing stability in long-disinvested neighborhoods, granting Emem Group exclusive negotiating rights on 40 city-owned parcels in Amani for a proposed affordable rental development. If awarded federal low-income housing tax credits this spring, the project would bring new homes to an area that has seen decades of vacancy and disinvestment — with long-term affordability requirements built in. At the same time, the city is launching a pilot to spur “missing middle” homeownership by providing lots and subsidies for replicable duplex, townhome, and small-scale infill designs.
