Our Mission: To provide individuals and families with advocacy and services to meet their basic needs so they may live in dignity.

Community Advocates is the largest human needs advocacy agency in Wisconsin. Community Advocates is also one of the only remaining community-based organizations of any kind still welcoming walk-in clients five days a week.

Milwaukee residents who need assistance with maintaining or finding housing, short-term financial assistance, solutions for healthcare and disability issues, or other basic needs can come to Community Advocates and find help.

Within more than 60 assistance programs, Community Advocates staff may do any of the following:

• Help a single mother and her children move from homelessness to clean, affordable housing
• Connect a low-income family to health insurance
• Provide safe haven and supportive services to an individual who is homeless, mentally ill
• Provide legal services for SSI disability benefit appeals
• Counsel batterers so they will resolve conflict without violence
• Offer shelter and safety to a mother and her children who are victims of domestic violence
• Provide financial assistance and budgeting skills to individuals and families to help manage household utilities and heating costs

No one should have to lose hope for the future because of a lack of resources today.

For more than 35 years, Community Advocates has worked to see its vision for Milwaukee become real: a community in which each person envisions a future with hope.
