Main Image: A cityscape of Milwaukee in winter — recognizable skyline in the background with light snow falling. In the foreground, draw a contrast between two individuals: On the left side, a person is wrapped in a blanket, sitting on a bench, exposed to the cold. On the right side, another person is being handed keys by a social worker or housing advocate, in front of a small apartment building or shelter labeled “Housing First.” Details to Add: Signs or small labels to show elements like: A “Milwaukee County Housing Office” or “Support Center” A shelter in the background with a warm, welcoming glow An “Affordable Housing – Coming Soon” sign near a fenced lot (showing the challenge of development) A faded or torn flyer that says something like “Neighborhood Opposes Shelter Plan”, hinting at local resistance Symbolism: Use warm colors (orange/yellow) on the right to symbolize hope, support, and progress. Use cool colors (blue/gray) on the left to convey hardship and isolation. Include a small banner in the corner that says “Recognized by HUD – Lowest Unsheltered Rate”, showing national recognition.
