CDA is proud to present our 2024 Annual Impact Report.

 

In many ways, 2024 was a remarkable year for CDA as we continued to advance racial equity through homeownership.

 

We enjoyed many milestones and accomplishments, including:​

• Putting resident voice first by establishing the 15-member Resident Advisory Council on Housing (RACH) and electing two of its members to CDA's Board;

• Mobilizing the 150 attendees of our annual September conference to begin developing the Homeownership Bill of Rights to protect vulnerable neighborhoods across Milwaukee from gentrification and displacement;

• Sold the first of 40 homes built exclusively for early childhood educators who are at risk of displacement;

• Successfully lobbied to restore $1.25 million in City funding for the critical down-payment assistance program;

• Secured $2.3 million in City TID financing for the Midtown Homeownership Initiative; and

• Received the Associated Bank Trailblazer Award at the MANDIs.

​

Looking ahead, our priority in 2025 is to establish strategies and tactics to combat displacement and gentrification.
