The City of Milwaukee Housing Authority convened on August 13, 2025, to discuss key policy updates and procedural matters. The meeting began with acknowledgments of contributions from staff, particularly Ken, who collaborated with community leaders to develop a comprehensive policy. The city attorney was also recognized for enhancing the clarity of the document through careful revisions.

A significant portion of the meeting focused on the topic of nepotism within the Housing Authority. Commissioner Moore raised questions about how family members could seek employment with the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM). The discussion clarified that any potential conflicts must be disclosed to the authority. The executive director would assess these disclosures and determine if a waiver from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was necessary. Regular reports on such conflicts would be provided to the board to ensure transparency.

Following the discussions, the commissioners moved to adopt a resolution related to these policies. The motion received unanimous support from all present members, indicating a collective agreement on the proposed measures.

The meeting concluded with a brief mention of the Treveaux board of directors, noting that their scheduled meeting on July 31 had been canceled due to a lack of business requiring action, although relevant documents had been shared with the directors.

Overall, the meeting underscored the Housing Authority's commitment to transparency and adherence to regulations while addressing potential conflicts of interest in employment practices.
