The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, commonly known as the SAVE Act, has generated significant concerns among voting rights advocates regarding its potential impact on Black voters and other traditionally marginalized communities.

First introduced in Congress in 2024 and reintroduced in January 2025, the Republican-backed legislation would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require Americans to present documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information.

SAVE Act's citizenship proof requirement threatens voting access for Black voters by eliminating mail-in, online registration options.

Milwaukee officials announce a March 19 Community Meeting on the former Northridge Mall redevelopment from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., with a presentation at 5:30 p.m.

In the article, HYFIN's Tarik Moody, a student in the ACRE (Associates in Commercial Real Estate) program, proposes a community land trust model: a nonprofit would own the land while residents would own homes, keeping housing permanently affordable.

The innovative plan includes cottage-style homes with shared green spaces and potential revenue-sharing arrangements where homeowners would receive portions of income from on-site commercial spaces, creating additional wealth-building opportunities.

The City of Milwaukee's Department of City Development seeks community input on potential development alternatives for "Granville Station."
