Location

In 2023, Milwaukee Habitat launched an ambitious plan to double the number of homes we build and repair by 2028. In doing so, we've expanded our new home construction to multiple north side neighborhoods. In 2024 alone, Milwaukee Habitat is building 32 brand new homes in neighborhoods like King Park, Harambee, and Midtown. Whenever possible, we work to cluster these new homes - building multiple homes on a single block. These maps show the new homes we've been building in 2023 and 2024.
