NeuVue gives Milwaukee’s youth a new perspective on their future

It started as an idea. This summer, it broke ground.NeuVue is a $16.2 million housing project that’s unlike any other in Milwaukee: a six-story building on the city’s North Side intended entirely for young adults in the city.“Neuvue will help pave the way for self-sufficiency for the young people who will call it home,” said Joann Harris-Comodore, founder and CEO of Neu-Life Community Development, the nonprofit behind the project. “That alone is just so invigorating and so exciting as we move forward.”In addition to 36 high-quality, affordable apartments ranging from studios to two-bedroom spaces, there will be workforce opportunities in Neu-Life’s Farmfork Culinary School and Cafe; Neu-Media Studios; and amenities like a gym, community rooms, a rooftop garden and underground parking. In this episode, we hear from Neu-Life's leaders about the project's potential, and from current and former youth positively impacted by the organization's mission.#####Uniquely Milwaukee is supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.
