Breaking Down The Barriers To Affordable Homeownership
At Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, we believe everyone deserves a decent place to live. 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 nearly 1500 local families build or repair a place to call home.
The Power of Home
One in three Milwaukee renters spend half or more of their income on housing. This is unacceptable. Let's help families invest in and preserve homeownership.
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.

What's Happening
“It means the absolute WORLD to me to be celebrating the holidays in our brand-new home! I am so elated to have the space to decorate and make the house exactly how I want it to. It is so heart warming for my son to be able to witness this and assist in helping put everything up.”

“A holiday tradition we’ve created since moving into our Habitat home is matching pajamas for the entire family on Christmas Eve. What it means to have a home to celebrate the holidays in is family gatherings, good food, and laughs. It’s a wonderful thing to have a place where we can all get together and fellowship."

“We do the typical holiday traditions since we moved into our house like put up the Christmas tree, bake cookies, eat a special meal on Christmas and open presents, watch movies, and drink hot coco in our matching pajamas.”
