Our Work
Founded in 2008, the primary goal of the Community Advocates Public Policy Institute is to help design and put in place the policy changes that will dramatically reduce the level of poverty in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
To this end, we work closely with many individuals and organizations in Milwaukee, throughout Wisconsin, and across the nation who also focus on greatly reducing poverty.
While the Institute’s primary task is reducing poverty itself, we also seek to reduce the many frustrations and burdens that the poor face as they navigate through life. We are thus committed to working closely with other advocates of the poor to ensure that low-income individuals can easily obtain affordable health insurance, AODA treatment, mental health services, housing, and utility services, as well as quality education for their children.
