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.
