NeuVue gives Milwaukee’s youth a new perspective on their future
About this episode
The episode discusses the NeuVue housing project aimed at providing affordable living and workforce opportunities for Milwaukee's youth.
It started as an idea. This summer, it broke ground. NeuVue is a $16.2 million housing project that’s unlike any other in Milwaukee: a six-story building on the city’s North Side intended entirely for young adults in the city. “Neuvue will help pave the way for self-sufficiency for the young people who will call it home,” said Joann Harris-Comodore, founder and CEO of Neu-Life Community Development, the nonprofit behind the project. “That alone is just so invigorating and so exciting as we move forward.” In addition to 36 high-quality, affordable apartments ranging from studios to two-bedroom spaces, there will be workforce opportunities in Neu-Life’s Farmfork Culinary School and Cafe; Neu-Media Studios; and amenities like a gym, community rooms, a rooftop garden and underground parking. In this episode, we hear from Neu-Life's leaders about the project's potential, and from current and former youth positively impacted by the organization's mission. ##### Uniquely Milwaukee is supported by our Radio Milwaukee members .
