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.

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.

Water damage in Catherine's bathroom made the shower unusable. With the help of Milwaukee Habitat's Critical Home Repair Program, her bathroom was fully repaired with a new shower, vanity, exhaust fan, and updated lighting.

For Catherine, Milwaukee Habitat's Home Repair Program means more than a secure roof; it restores comfort and usability to her home.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
