Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity transforms lives and our city by providing simple, decent and affordable housing for Milwaukee families in need. We build and renovate homes for families and individuals in need of sustainable housing.

Founded in 1984 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Milwaukee Habitat currently builds homes in the Amani and Washington Park neighborhoods of Milwaukee. To date Milwaukee Habitat has built or repaired over 500 homes in partnership with hardworking Milwaukee families.

We build our homes with the “sweat equity” of our homeowners who work in conjunction with volunteers to complete their projects. Every year thousands of volunteers from faith institutions, schools, corporations and civic groups help us to build homes from the ground up, participating in every aspect of home construction. Find out more about volunteering by visiting our Volunteer page.

We strive to unite the residents of the greater Milwaukee area around the cause of affordable housing. Milwaukee Habitat is a leading advocate for affordable housing and is the largest non-profit home builder in Southeastern Wisconsin. Our goals are to ensure that every resident of Milwaukee has access to decent and affordable housing, and that affordable housing is a priority for the greater Milwaukee community.
