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.

This Sponsor Sunday, we would like to recognize BMO U.S.. and Accunet Mortgage. BMO Harris was the presenting sponsor at our gala on Thursday night and Accunet Mortgage contributed $100,000 to a challenge match. Together, we couldn't have raised the money for our mission without these two incredible partners.

This year’s gala was a night to remember! Together, we looked back at a special moment from earlier this year when we celebrated homeowners who had officially paid off their mortgages.
To mark this incredible milestone, homeowners were invited to ceremoniously burn their mortgage documents. Surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones, each homeowner tossed their documents into the fire as everyone gathered to celebrate their hard work, dedication, and the joy of being "Paid in Full"!
