ABOUT EMERGENCY SHELTER INTAKE FORM

The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra recognizes the importance of addressing and bringing light to current issues and challenges in our community. Homelessness, eviction, and the lack of affordable housing are of great concern to many. The release of Matthew Desmond’s Evicted shed further light on the eviction crisis in Milwaukee and was one of the inspirations for composer Gabriel Kahane’s emergency shelter intake form. This oratorio-style work tells the story of becoming and confronting homelessness from several angles, culminating in a performance by a choir made up of community members directly touched by homelessness, eviction, or housing insecurity. As we prepare to present this powerful and relevant work, we have partnered with a number of non-profits that work directly to provide both services to those affected by homelessness and to develop long-term solutions to end the pipeline to homelessness in our community.

The MSO recognizes GMF Funding Partner – Marvin W. Haesle Fund for the Arts for generous support of emergency shelter intake form.
