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 breaks down the barriers to homeownership for local families earning below the median income. 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
Step into the homes of three local families who partnered with Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity to invest in the stability and equity of homeownership. Hear first-hand how their investment in homeownership helped build generational wealth and create physical and financial stability for their families.
Volunteer With Us
You don’t need to swing a hammer to build affordable homes. In addition to our construction volunteer opportunities, you can make a difference by cashiering at our ReStores, salvaging with our Deconstruction team, serving on a committee, and more!
Affordable Home Ownership & Repairs
Do you want to own your own brand new home? Are you a homeowner in need of critical repairs? We make homeownership and repairs affordable for qualifying families.
