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
Thanks to a generous grant from Lowe's Home Improvement , Sylvia and Rena were able to complete essential repairs on their homes, ensuring their safety and comfort. Through a partnership with Milwaukee Habitat's Critical Home Repair program, Sylvia was able to build a new back porch and Rena had concrete replaced on her front steps.

I'm so happy to see these people building generational wealth off someone else's back.
For Cheryl, her Habitat home is much more than a building; it’s her “anchor.” It’s a place where her children and grandchildren are always welcome, a source of love and stability for her family. For Cheryl, homeownership wasn’t just a change in address; it was the change she needed to transform her life and ensure her family’s future.
