Become a Homeowner
At Habitat Waukesha our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We believe in the power of homeownership - owning a home is a way to provide and a family with strength, stability, and roots in the community.
We offer decent, affordable housing and use donated materials and volunteer labor whenever possible to build our homes to keep costs to a minimum. We then sell these homes to qualified applicants by providing zero-interest mortgages and affordable monthly mortgage payments, based on income.
Homeowner applications are now closed.
What does it take to become a Habitat homeowner?
We provide a hand up - not a handout. Habitat homes are not free.
