Dignitaries, community leaders and residents came together recently to celebrate the opening of Journey House's newest campus housing property, located at 2033 W. Scott St. “This home was an eyesore, dangerous and was only still standing because the city didn't have the resources at the time to raze it,” Mayor Tom Barrett said to the crowd gathered at the south end of Longfellow School 's playground. Each unit of the four-unit building, which had been a city-owned foreclosure, will house a teen who has aged out of the foster care system as part of the Campus Housing Initiative , a partnership between Journey House, Milwaukee County's Project O-Yeah and the city of Milwaukee.
