Helping Families Invest in the Stability and Equity of Homeownership
Right now, Milwaukee is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis where one in three renters are spending half or more of their income on housing. Milwaukee Habitat helps families earning below the median income invest in the stability and equity of homeownership. We help families become first-time homebuyers and make critical home repair affordable for existing homeowners. Since our founding in 1984, Milwaukee Habitat has helped more than 1500 local families build or repair a place to call home.
Together, we build homeownership.
Together, We Build: Sarah's Story of Stability
In 2021, Sarah and her two sons moved into their Habitat home, marking a new chapter filled with stability, growth, and hope. In this video, she shares what homeownership means for her family and how the Habitat community came together to make it possible. Together, we build homeownership.

We have an important opportunity for those that want to understand the history of Milwaukee's housing challenges.
Join Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity for a Housing, Race and Equity Workshop. This is a two-hour, interactive opportunity to explore how historical decisions shaped Milwaukee’s housing patterns and continue to impact our community today.
The workshop is open to everyone, with three fall dates to choose from:
📅 Sept. 24 | 1:30–3:30 p.m.
📅 Oct. 16 | 1:30–3:30 p.m.
📅 Nov. 6 | 1:30–3:30 p.m.
Through data, maps, historical documents and discussion, participants will explore Milwaukee’s housing history and consider ways to take informed action toward more equitable housing.
