The Resources Available to Help Families in Our Community

Milwaukee County Office on African American Affairs was created in 2017 to serve an integral role in recognizing and resolving the County’s racial inequities for the benefit of all residents. Three and a half years in, they function more as an office on equity, working to lift and drive the county’s vision that by achieving racial equity, Milwaukee will become the healthiest county in Wisconsin. Today Jeff Roman, Executive Director, Office on African American Affairs explains the resources they can provide to residents during the COVID-19 pandemic Milwaukee County residents can still take advantage of County resources and opportunities to help ease the burden during this pandemic.
