“The new intergenerational housing complex on the campus of Mount Mary University is a joint venture among the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Mount Mary University and Milwaukee Catholic Home. Retired sisters from the School Sisters of Notre Dame, other seniors who move onto the campus from the surrounding community, along with single mothers and their children – the mothers being students at Mount Mary – will have an opportunity to build community and enrich each other’s lives. The tax-exempt financing obtained through WHEFA helped make this endeavor financially viable.
