Milwaukee Habitat For Humanity

Milwaukee habitat restores accept donations of new and saleable used building materials and home furnishings, most of which would otherwise be placed in a landfill. Some materials are used to build and renovate homes and the rest is sold to the public at 50-70% off the retail price. This year, the net profits from the milwaukee habitat restores provided enough income to build two homes.

Home preservation program: our home preservation program is an outreach initiative that seeks to provide a wide range of opportunities for low- to moderate-income homeowners, including veterans and seniors, who are struggling to maintain their homes because of age, disability or family circumstances. We partner with families to help them reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. The program allows families to stay in their home and avoid the uncertainty, trauma and expense of moving. Projects consist of interior and/or exterior repairs intended to alleviate critical health, life and safety issues or code violations. Volunteer teams work along with subcontractors under the direction of milwaukee habitat for humanity staff members to complete repairs.
