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: 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 more than houses—we build homes, community, and hope.
Volunteer With Us
You don’t need to swing a hammer to build affordable homes. In addition to our construction volunteer opportunities, you can make a difference by cashiering at our ReStores, salvaging with our Deconstruction team, serving on a committee, and more!

Did you know all of our walls are panelized right in our woodshop? Volunteers including this awesome team from Bader Philanthropies, Inc. roll up their sleeves to build every wall before it heads to the site where it becomes part of a brand new home.
