A Brush with Kindness (ABWK) is a new program for Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity that enhances and restores existing homes in targeted neighborhoods.

ABWK is a minor home improvement grant that helps low-income homeowners currently living in the boundaries of Lindsay Heights, Harambee and Clark Square.  Milwaukee Habitat volunteers work with the partner families to make the improvements to their homes.

Projects include painting, porch repair, siding, gutter repairs, landscaping, demolition, door and window installation and correcting code violations.

The ABWK program helps forward Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building and renovating simple, decent and affordable housing by helping low-income families stay safe and happy in their homes.

The ABWK program is generously supported by the Zilber Family Foundation. Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and JP Morgan Chase.
