WHY KFF COMMUNITY?
According to research conducted by the Pew Institute, Milwaukee has one of the highest poverty rates in the country at 29%; nearly double the federal poverty rate. In addition, 24/7 Wall Street reports that Milwaukee is one of the most segregated cities in America, and one of the worst places to live for minorities. Economic opportunities for Black and Latino residents are abysmal. USA Today reports that African Americans living in Milwaukee make $24,000 less than their white counterparts for the same work and skillset. Despite efforts from community and economic development organizations, many minority residents within the city of Milwaukee still live in substandard housing and barely make enough money to cover rent. Working with our partners and community stakeholders, we establish and deploy programs that target those areas that create the greatest risk for our clients and constituents. Through our focused and concentrated efforts, KFF Community gets results.
OUR CORE VALUES
Kingdom Advancement
We endeavor to rebuild and revitalize areas that are historically underserved with the power of the Gospel, and with initiatives that help residents become self-sufficient members of the communities in which they live and work.
Compassionate Service
We're committed to treating all of our clients and constituents with respect and love regardless of their race and/or social/economic status.
Integrity
From our Board of Directors, to our Executive staff, to our Programatic staff, every employee is required to do their work and interact with clients and constituents with the highest level of integrity.
Advocacy and Social Justice
We exist to give a voice to the voiceless. We also endeavor to use our platform to amplify the plight of those whose voices aren't loud enough to be heard.
Community Involvement/Engagement
We are committed to working collaboratively with faith and community groups that address issues affecting the well-being of all of Milwaukee.
