Affordable Home Ownership & Repairs
Habitat provides you with the coaching, education, and support to be successful in your home buying journey. We can help you buy a home you love with a sales price you can afford. First-time homebuyers can build a brand new home with little-to-no down payment. At the end of 2025, the average sales price for a home in Milwaukee was $311,000. Instead, Milwaukee Habitat’s average price is $180,000–$210,000.
Existing homeowners can qualify for affordable home repairs of everything from roof replacements to electrical work and more. Up to 80% of project costs can be covered based on your income.

Hear from Habitat Homeowners
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 more than houses—we build homes, community, and hope.
We are pledged to the letter and spirit of the U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
