The most impactful work happens when community, policy, and advocacy come together. That’s why we’re proud to spotlight our partners at the Community Development Alliance (CDA), who recently hosted their Annual Conference, bringing together over 130 residents, leaders, advocates, and partners united around one urgent priority: protecting Milwaukee’s aging neighbors from displacement.
