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.
Together, We Build: Sarah's Story of Stability
In 2021, Sarah and her two sons moved into their Habitat home, marking a new chapter filled with stability, growth, and hope. In this video, she shares what homeownership means for her family and how the Habitat community came together to make it possible. Together, we build homeownership.

Together, Sharisse and her mom are building their new home.
“I told my Dad before he passed that I promise she would be taken care of. He went peacefully knowing she would be okay… This home is another important step for me in following what I committed to my Dad."
