Madison mayor wants nearby cities to step up to help fund new homeless shelter Alders and members of the press got their first look at the news men’s homeless shelter at 1902 Bartillon Drive on Sept. 22.

Wisconsin spends about as much on homeless services as Madison does, and far less than Dane County. Despite multibillion dollar budget surpluses, the Legislature rejected again, without discussion, Gov. Evers’ request for $24 million to increase funding for homeless services at the state level.

Donate to Satya Rhodes-Conway Show your support with a contribution.

Madison’s progress makes us a target for the Trump administration. They’ve already defunded Madison’s work on clean energy, energy efficiency, and traffic safety, and are trying to claw back much more federal funding from our community.

I won 73% of the vote with a 46.93-point margin.

That showed strong community support and voters trusted my leadership.

In these local races, a single donation goes a long way. Likewise, a little volunteer time can reach people who won't get reached otherwise.

Plus, talking to people about city council elections in February and April helps turn them out for WI Supreme Court too

3. Library. You may have not known this, but Reindahl Park where the Imagination Center (library) will be built, was in District 17 until the most recent census led to redistricting. Residents have advocated for years for this much-needed resource.

2. Resources. The district has lacked resources for decades. That's why I advocated for the recently formed Sandburg/Motel Corridor Neighborhood Resource Team. Now we have a team to help in supporting the district!
