WORKING TOWARD REVITALIZATION Dominican Center Helps Revitalize Block, EmployeesYouth
The Dominican Center has worked with partners North- western Mutual, Amani United, Ezekiel Hope, LISC Milwaukee, Legal Aid Society, Milwaukee Christian Center and KG De- velopment Group on Block by Block, an initiative to repair and bring homes up to code in order to renovate and revital- ize an entire block. Residents can receive hands-on-training at the Training House, setting them up for future economic success. This initiative requires investment from neighbor- hood partners, the City of Mil- waukee, and sweat equity from the homeowners and landlords who’s properties are receiving repaired. In 2022, the initiative will finish on the Model Block and move to the second and third blocks, named the Beta Blocks. In addition, the Dominican
Center has supported the Amani United Housing & Eco- nomic Development commit- tee with technical support. DC also employed youth through Earn & Learn this summer and dedicated more than 75 hours to helping youth fill out em- ployment applications.
