He continued that Milwaukee County and the Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Coalition are the partners for this research grant, which will split as many as 1950 persons into three groups: those receiving comprehensive services, those receiving select services and a control group. The grant will include one year of planning with HUD, five years of implementation and three years of evaluation with HUD. The Commissioners commended staff on the grant application for the impact it could have on the participants, and eventually nationally once the results are known. They felt it will provide information not only to the industry, but specific information helpful to HACM. They appreciated the discussion about these efforts and encouraged similar applications with community partners in the future. Tony Pérez, HACM’s Secretary-Executive Director thanked the partners involved in this application, and thanked the Commissioners for their discussion and enthusiasm for HACM’s efforts, as well as for making time for this Special Board Meeting.
