Habitat for Humanity of Waukesha County

Mission

Habitat Waukesha builds decent, affordable homes for families who are unable to purchase a home through traditional methods. Habitat does not give houses away; we believe in giving a hand up, not a hand out. By providing a home with an affordable mortgage, homeowners obtain self-sufficiency and break the cycle of poverty. Partner families contribute "sweat equity" hours to take the place of a down payment. Volunteers contribute time and talent to reduce labor costs. Donations of money and construction materials further reduce costs.
