Founded in 1984, Milwaukee Habitat currently builds and repairs homes in the Midtown and Harambee neighborhoods of Milwaukee. Milwaukee Habitat has built or repaired over 1200 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.
The Milwaukee ReStores carry building materials, housewares and furniture donated by manufacturers, stores, contractors and individuals. The stores are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC with all items sold at a fraction of the retail cost. Proceeds from everything sold at the ReStores are used to fund Habitat's mission of building affordable homes for Milwaukee's low-income families. Staffed largely by volunteers, the Habitat ReStores are eco-friendly locations to both donate and shop for your home building supplies and furnishings.
