A mixed-use, affordable housing development that provides 52 permanent supportive housing units to veterans recently opened in the heart of the Near West Side in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Thomas H. Wynn, Sr. Memorial Veterans Manor officially opened its doors on Memorial Day 2011 and is now home to many formerly homeless veterans. Built in a prominent location along important transportation corridors with convenient access to downtown and a major freeway, the development is helping to revitalize the Near West Side. Veterans Manor, a modern, four-story building, received three housing awards in 2012: the Mayor’s Design Award, a Partnership Fair Housing Award from the Wisconsin Fair Housing Network, and a Milwaukee Award for Neighborhood Development Innovation from Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Milwaukee
