Early Developments

In the year 1937, under the Housing Act of that same year, the city of Milwaukee developed its first public housing in what is now known as Parklawn. The cost of the development exceeded the $2 million margin. In 1948, just four years after the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee was established, the foundation completed housing units in Northlawn, Southlawn, and Berryland; the Northlawn accommodated 247 units, Southlawn 330 and Berryland 391. Although these developments were created with the intent of housing war veterans and their family, today these developments still stand housing many who do not fit such profile. During the 1950s, on land set aside for urban renewal, Hillside Terrace was completed. These high rise buildings were composed of 596 units. Wisconsin’s largest public housing development, Westlawn, arranged 726 units. The Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee completed the Lapham Park development in 1964. The development accommodated 170 family units and 200 units for seniors and disabled residents. Then in 1967, Highland Park was completed which housed 56 families. Two high-rise towers known as the Highland Twin Towers were also built to provide housing for 220 seniors and disabled residents.
