While Ozaukee County is one of the wealthier counties in Wisconsin, there are still many families living in substandard housing whose conditions are in severe need of improvement. Habitat partners with people in our community to help them build or improve a place they call home.

With your support, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Our partnership with community churches, businesses and caring citizens has changed lives and empowered families.

The partnering Habitat families' sweat equity also contributes to this labor of love.
