Everyone Deserves a Decent Place to Live

We partner with our communities’ hardworking families that may struggle to access safe and affordable housing while covering all of life’s expenses. Our housing solutions include new home and rehab construction and the improvement of homes in need of critical repairs.

Additionally, we revitalize neighborhoods through our Rock the Block program and operate a ReStore in Appleton where donations of home goods and building materials are gratefully accepted.

Home is in Their Hands

We partner with donors, volunteers and sponsors to assist families with needed resources so they can buy and maintain their own homes.

The families we work with invest “sweat equity” by taking financial and home management courses, as well as physically building their homes with teams of skilled professionals and volunteers.

See what happens when families can access safe and affordable shelter by reading our Family Impact Study.

What Makes a Healthy Family?

“Where we live is at the core of our daily lives and we know that having a safe place to call home has a significant impact on one’s health. As a Habitat home sponsor, it’s so much more than building and raising walls, hanging siding and painting walls at our Habitat house build. Our team members along with Habitat are beginning the process to build a foundation of health for this family for years to come.

Throughout the next several months, team members are truly living our mission as part of ThedaCare’s Inspired to Fight for Healthy Housing system-wide volunteer initiative.”
