As a 501(c)(3) organization, UEDA’s work has focused primarily on housing development, economic development and job creation with an emphasis on regional transportation, foreclosure mitigation, sustainable homeownership and regional food initiatives.

among neighborhood organizations, businesses and economic
development agencies serving Milwaukee’s urban community.
