Milwaukee Habitat has moved!!!
We have found a new "simple, decent, affordable" place of our own, which suits our needs better, and which will hopefully help us as we continue to grow and fulfill our mission in the Milwaukee community. Our phone number, fax number and email addresses have all remained the same, but the new address for our office and warehouse is now (as of Mon., April 14):
Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity
3726 N. Booth Street

Partnerships Building Homes and Hope
Habitat provides the opportunity for home ownership to families who wouldn't, because of income level, qualify for a mortgage with a lending institution. Families with an income as low as $1,300 per month can become Habitat homesteaders. Habitat makes no profit on the homes it builds and provides a no-interest mortgage loan for homesteaders. The cost of each construction project is $60,000. Monthly mortgage payments are approximately $450 per month and include an amount that is held in escrow for real estate taxes and property insurance. The principal portion of homeowners' mortgage payments is recycled back into the fund to build more and more houses.
Habitat families work with other volunteers in the rehabilitating or building of their home - putting in 500 partnership hours as a "sweat equity" down payment. Having to invest this amount of time in the actual building of their house or other Habitat houses, families take ownership and pride in their homes and neighborhood. Ours is a "hand up" not a "handout" program. |
