HACM MILWAUKEE 27-PROPERTY DIRECTORY REVIEW — HACM https://www.hacm.org/our-properties/search-all-properties (pages 1–2) and 27 linked facility details, reviewed September 30, 2026. The directory has 27 distinct facility records, including five multi-address groups without one verified home entrance: Highland Homes, Scattered Sites Homes, Southside Scattered Sites Homes, Townhomes at Carver Park and Westlawn Gardens. The site names are Arlington Court (1633 N. Arlington Place); Becher Court (1802 W. Becher Street); Berryland (6089 N. 42nd Street); Cherry Court (1525 N. 24th Street); College Court (3334 W. Highland Boulevard); Convent Hill (455 East Ogden Avenue); Highland Gardens (1818 W. Juneau Avenue); Highland Homes (multiple locations; unpinned); Hillside Terrace (1419 N. 8th Street); Hillside Terrace High Rise (1545 N. 7th Street); Holton Terrace (2825 N. Holton Street); Lapham Park (1901 N. 6th Street); Lincoln Court (2325 S. Howell Avenue); Locust Court (1350 E. Locust Street); Merrill Park (222 N. 33rd Street); Mitchell Court (2600 W. National Avenue); Northlawn (5145 N. 20th Street); Olga Village (722 W. Washington Street); Parklawn (4434 W. Marion Street); Riverview (1300 E. Kane Place); Scattered Sites Homes (multiple locations; unpinned); Southlawn (3350 S. 25th Street); Southside Scattered Sites Homes (multiple locations; unpinned); Surgeon’s Quarters (5000 W. National Avenue, Building 17); Townhomes at Carver Park (multiple locations; unpinned); Victory Manor (5556 N. 68 St.); Westlawn Gardens (multiple locations; unpinned). The directory lists Highland Gardens and Highland Homes at the same 1818 W. Juneau address, but Highland Homes' detail describes scattered houses; Lapham Park and Carver Park townhomes also share a contact address. Do not infer an individual home's location from those labels. The directory's Southside scattered ZIP contradicts Parklawn's ZIP for the same contact street. HACM https://www.hacm.org/programs/housing/housing-choice-voucher-program-section-8-rent-assistance/housing-choice-voucher-wait-list-opening#!/ says its public-housing general-occupancy and specified project-based voucher waiting lists are OPEN, while tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) intake is CLOSED. The PBV table names Becher Court, Cherry Court, Convent Hill, Highland Gardens, Holton Terrace, Lapham Park, Merrill Park, Olga Village, Scattered Sites Homes, Townhomes at Carver Park, Victory Manor, Westlawn Gardens; it displays property-specific bedroom sizes and preferences, not vacancies. Its heading calls this “12 developments” but the table has separate rows for Westlawn Gardens Mid-Rise and Westlawn Gardens; do not count a neighborhood mid-rise twice as a new directory entry. https://www.hacm.org/programs/housing/apply-for-housing says it continually takes applications for Berryland, Northlawn and Southlawn. The individual detail pages include old March 2025 announcements; use the central status pages for current intake. https://www.hacm.org/our-properties/veteran-supportive-housing identifies Surgeon’s Quarters as veteran homelessness supportive housing and Victory Manor as veterans-preference housing. The supplied unit counts are inventories, not vacant apartments; no listing establishes felony acceptance or individual screening criteria.
