Transitional job announcement from Alderwoman Coggs

Today a resolution that I &and several of my colleagues co-sponsored, that creates 75 transitional jobs to work on city infrastructure projects passed the Public Works Committee unanimously.

If you are interested in learning more about about these job opportunities please call Umos @ (414) 389-6000.

Common Council file # 140111 would utilize funding from the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families’ Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to pay 75 Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board (“MAWIB”) and United Migrant Opportunity Services (“UMOS”) transitional program participants for city infrastructure maintenance activities for up to 1,040 hours per participant. The workers would be supervised by city Department of Public Works staff members.

Alderman Bauman, chair of the Public Works Committee and the primary sponsor of file #140111, said the workers would be recruited and screened by UMOS and MAWIB and would perform a variety of duties, including pothole repairs on streets across Milwaukee. 

Co-sponsor Alderman Ashanti Hamilton, chair of the Judiciary and Legislation Committee, said the proposal brings the hope of employment to city residents who are looking for opportunities to help themselves and their families. This program provides valuable opportunity and badly needed improvements and maintenance for city streets and infrastructure.


In addition to Alderman Hamilton and Alderman Stamper, the measure is also co- sponsored by Alderman Michael J. Murphy, Alderman Nik Kovac, Alderman Willie C. Wade, Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs, Alderman Bob Donovan, Alderman José G. Pérez, Alderman Terry L. Witkowski and Alderman Robert W. Puente.
