About Hope House of Milwaukee
Hope House of Milwaukee Incorporated centered 2023 and 2024 grantmaking on eviction prevention and behavioral health, pairing housing stability with services that address mental health and substance use needs. The pattern is tightly local: every recent grant listed went to a Wisconsin recipient, with Milwaukee organizations accounting for nearly all of them. That combination points to a place-based funder that supports direct service providers working with renters at risk of losing housing and people needing integrated support. Several of the largest awards show the breadth of that approach. Neu-life Community Development Inc received $180,000 in 2023, while True Skool Inc received $178,000 the same year, both for eviction prevention and behavioral health. Community Advocates Inc also received a six-figure grant of $160,000 for the same purpose. The roster includes youth-serving organizations, neighborhood groups, and health-focused providers, suggesting the foundation funds a network rather than a single model. Across the recent grants, the common thread is prevention-oriented work tied to housing stability and community-based care.
What Hope House of Milwaukee Funds
Eviction prevention and behavioral health are the clearest throughline. Hope House of Milwaukee Incorporated gave $180,000 to Neu-life Community Development Inc and $178,000 to True Skool Inc, both for eviction prevention and behavioral health. It also awarded $160,000 to Community Advocates Inc for the same purpose, reinforcing the foundation’s focus on keeping households housed while connecting them to support. The foundation also backs youth-centered organizations. Transcenter for Youth Inc received $125,500, and Running Rebels Community Organization Inc received $100,000, each for eviction prevention and behavioral health. That pairing suggests attention to young people who may be affected by housing instability. Community-based health and neighborhood support appear as well. Health Connections Inc received $78,000, and Social Development Commission received $45,947, both with the same combined housing-and-behavioral-health purpose.
How Hope House of Milwaukee Gives
The typical grant size sits at $54,250 at the 25th percentile, $70,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile. Recent awards cluster in a middle-range band, with several grants at or above six figures and a number in the $50,000 to $90,000 range. The 2023 and 2024 grants show repeated support to the same recipient in one case: Samad's House Corp appears in both years, at $60,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024. The foundation is not a grantmaker to individuals and does not make program-related investments, based on the supplied profile.
