In 2026, Milwaukee Habitat plans to start 40 new homes and complete more than 150 home repairs meeting our strategic planning goal of doubling production two years early. The unique model of using volunteer labor, partnering with financial institutions for below market rates, and our deep support and education program for participants provides long term success for homebuyers.
As an implementation partner of the Community Development Alliance, Milwaukee Habitat is actively building homes in the Amani, Harambee, Lindsay Heights, King Park and Midtown neighborhoods.
