Martin Luther King Branch

Community Room

Community Assembly hosted by the City of Milwaukee and UW Madison. 9am-3pm in MPL's King Branch Community Room. Apply today!

The City of Milwaukee invites Milwaukee residents to be part of Milwaukee’s Community Assembly on Housing on 9/14 from 9am-3pm.

This is not your traditional public meeting. It is a nonpartisan, facilitated process that will bring together a representative group of Milwaukee residents to learn about our local housing landscape and develop concrete recommendations for the City of Milwaukee. Together, participants will explore the following question from the mayor's office: "How should the City of Milwaukee invest in housing in 2028 and 2029?"

You do not need to be an expert to participate. Your experience as someone who lives in the community is what matters most.

Important Information to Know Before Applying: 

  • The event is all day from 9am - 3pm. Free parking is available at Milwaukee Public Library's King branch parking lot.  
  • 36 Milwaukee residents will be chosen by lottery to take part.
  • If selected, you’ll receive $100 for full participation.
  • To be considered, please apply by October 23, 2026. If selected, you will be notified by October 30.
  • Families welcome. Children under the age of 8 must be with a responsible parent, legal guardian or caregiver in other, non-event library areas.
  • More information on the assembly can be found on the events website: https://communityassembly.wisc.edu/milwaukee/
