Funding to Help HACM Provide Education and Job Training for their Residents

Washington, D.C. – Recently, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4), along with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), announced the release of over $1.2 million in grant funding for the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee.

This grant is part of the Capital Fund Education and Training Community Facilities (CFCF) program that uses these funds to construct or renovate facilities that offer educational opportunities to low income children and adults.  The grant program allocates funding for job training as well.  CFCF supplies this capital through Public Housing Agencies that provide these services. 

Through this grant, the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee will offer adult learning and job training courses to housing residents.  These funds will be used to renovate and construct a 5,890 square foot facility to educate public housing residents.  With over 50,000 unemployed Milwaukee area inhabitants, this grant will be beneficial in boosting the local economy.  
 
“This funding will offer low income residents the opportunity to enhance their education and job marketability,” said Rep. Gwen Moore. “If we wish to facilitate economic growth, we must do everything we can to put Americans back to work."
