Those interested in participating in the live Q&A sessions after any of the workshops are encouraged to register here.

Alderwoman Coggs urges residents with housing needs or questions to attend the event. “This year we are once again working to make sure valuable housing resource information can be shared with residents in an easy and accessible manner to support those in need. The Housing Resource Fair is always a collaborative effort, and I want to thank all the partners who have helped make this year’s virtual resource fair a reality,” she said.

Alderman Stamper shares the sentiment. “Our goal is to reach our communities and I believe these resources are essential for neighbors and the City of Milwaukee as a whole. I am excited to continue this effort alongside community stakeholders and partner organizations,” he said.
