when I lived there: Public housing is home: The story behind the stories of Greentree apartments in Milwaukee:
Through the O’Brien Fellowship in Public Service Journalism at Marquette University, I spent 15 months capturing life at Greentree, a low-income housing complex that sits on 14 acres on Milwaukee’s north side and is home to more than 700 residents.
An apartment in there was my first home, where my father fished my first bike out of the communal dumpster.
We moved into the housing projects about the time I was four.
