Community Support

Vision Framework

Community Support Programs

On September 2, 2021, the Milwaukee County ARPA Task Force approved ARPA Expenditure Categories and a process for reviewing and recommending ARPA funding allocations. 

The Community Support category allows Milwaukee County to respond to economic harms to workers, families, small businesses, impacted industries and the public sector. Projects advance Milwaukee County strategic objectives: 

  • 2A: Determine what, where and how services are delivered based on the resolution of health disparities
  • 3A: Invest upstream to address the root causes of health disparities
  • 3C: Dismantle barriers to achieving diverse and inclusive communities

Strategies will be funded within the following Milwaukee County ARPA Community Support Service Areas:
