One-on-One with David Crowley to be Held as a Private Event

Milwaukee, WI, March 7, 2025 – We are excited to announce that a meeting with Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley is set to take place on March 27, 2025, and will be a private gathering. Although the event itself will not be open to the public, we are proud to share that a range of community leaders and representatives from various local organizations will be in attendance. These individuals will serve as key voices, ensuring that the values of our community are well represented.

David Crowley believes housing is a matter of public health and he is collaborating with partners to build more safe, quality and affordable housing, create union jobs in the trades and address the root causes of housing instability and unaffordability.

This event highlights the importance of providing critical housing repairs to low-income seniors, veterans, and people living with disabilities. While the occasion will be held in a more intimate setting, it will still showcase the strength and spirit of the community. We look forward to the continued support and participation of our residents, and we will be sharing updates and highlights following the event.
