In her new role, Farah will lead HACM’s public housing, affordable housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs.
She will provide strategic oversight for housing operations, regulatory compliance and resident services and work on “advancing the agency’s mission to deliver high-quality, affordable housing opportunities throughout Milwaukee," according to the release.
“I am honored to join HACM and look forward to working alongside our staff, residents and community partners,” Farah said. “Together, we will build on the vital work already underway, strengthen housing programs and enhance services for Milwaukee families.”
