For the first time in decades, we are seeing an increase in Black and Latino homeownership rates in Milwaukee. That’s the good news. However, concerns about displacement and gentrification have been elevated by residents and pose a risk to Black and Latino homeownership strategies and other efforts to decrease the costs of housing. We need your help to address these issues!
CDA, collaborating with residents, neighborhood organizations, advocacy organizations, implementers, public officials, philanthropic organizations, investors, and other housing allies, is working to Build a Homeowner & Future Homeowner Bill of Rights. The Homeowner & Future Homeowner Bill of Rights will ensure:
1. Existing homeowners have the right to thrive in their homes without being displaced;
2. Future generations have the right to attainable entry-level homes; and
3. Everyone has the right to sustainable housing costs.
Building a Homeowner & Future Homeowner Bill of Rights will help inform and prioritize the policy efforts of CDA and provide direction and accountability for policymakers looking to further advance racial equity and anti-displacement efforts in housing. But we need your input!

Parking and food are complimentary.

OBJECTIVES
​
Conference attendees are invited to:
​
-
​Identify and quantify the risk of displacement in our community. CDA will present data and Ex Fabula will present stories of individuals who have been impacted by displacement. Participants will also participate in various interactive exercises to come to a common set of definitions and risks.
​
-
Create the universe of strategies that can be used to combat displacement. Over the last two years, CDA has engaged hundreds of residents, and a primary concern continues to be displacement. CDA and our network of allies have researched strategies from across the country that address displacement. Several of these strategies will be presented at the conference. Participants will provide direction on editing, adding to, and subtracting from a draft Homeowner Bill of Rights.
Audience
Who should attend this conference? Anyone who is passionate about housing and ending systemic racism. Our audience will be made of residents, neighborhood organizations, advocacy organizations, implementers, public officials, philanthropic organizations, investors, and other housing allies.
