Series: 6. Harambee Project, 1970-1997
Scope and Content Note: The Harambee Revitalization Project was a major project of the CUCD. Established on June 20, 1973, the project engaged the services of many people such as planners, architects, engineers, accountants, attorneys, etc. Harambee was an urban community development effort in a low income neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It centered on a 170-block area in the northern section of the central city. Within this overarching project were four interconnecting but separate components. The Harambee Ombudsman Project provided an effort and badly needed outreach for identifying and resolving individual and family needs. The Harambee Development Corporation and the Home Maintenance Project offered home repair loans and minor home repairs. The Harambee Health Project worked to provide residents with health history screenings, referrals, and preventative education. The Harambee Human Services Project was a 17-week credit seminar hosted by UWM for the community called "Human Services and Delivery and the Political System." The series contains administrative documents, proposal forms, correspondence, by-laws, pamphlets, the Harambee Speaks and Harambee Community Shopper newsletters, planning files, and reports. Found throughout the files are occasional notes in Paulson's hand, explaining the significance in retrospect.
