Earlier this month, NEF supported the grand opening of Bronzeville Estates in Milwaukee. Developed by Melissa Nicole Allen, President of Maures Development Group, LLC, Bronzeville Estates brings 30 units of new and rehabilitated affordable housing to the historic Bronzeville community, a once bustling and vibrant neighborhood and former economic center for Milwaukee’s Black American community that was wiped out with the completion of Interstate 43.
The development was made possible in part due to NEF’s inaugural fund and initiative to create access to capital for and build the development capacity on non-traditional developers of affordable housing.
NEF’s Lydia Smith spoke at the grand opening and was supported by a number of NEF staff in attendance.
Congratulations to Melissa, her team at Maures, our investors and local community members and leaders who came out to support the opening of this trailblazing development.
