Together For Homes
HIGHLIGHTED PROJECT
Housing is too expensive—plain and simple. While many drivers of cost sit outside municipal control, cities do control zoning, land-use rules, and approval processes. Narvarte launched Together for Homes to focus squarely on what cities can change: removing barriers to more housing choice and availability.
Created to support Milwaukee’s Housing Element (fka Growing MKE) zoning reform effort, Together for Homes united practitioners and policy experts into a single, pro-housing coalition. Narvarte coordinated strategy, messaging, and execution—bridging technical policy analysis with clear, public-facing narratives that built momentum and political support.
Key Outcomes
Built and coordinated a broad pro-housing coalition across sectors
Framed housing affordability around municipal levers cities can control
Translated technical zoning reform into accessible public narratives
Briefed elected officials and stakeholders to reduce friction and confusion
Successfully supported passage of Milwaukee’s Housing Element
“The team at Narvarte has been remarkable to work with in developing & organizing effective housing initiatives in MKE. From the large networking and communications capacities to the strong relationships they already have with grassroots & grasstops leaders/stakeholders, they've been able to catalyze high-impact deliverables for positive change in MKE's housing shortage crisis. Beyond this acclaim, we've also been impressed by how well Narvarte can move through political and logistical challenges. All told, we're grateful for our relationship with Narvarte and we look forward to our continued collaborations.”
