HOMES ARE THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY

At Revitalize Milwaukee, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and healthy home. Our mission is to empower homeowners who are low-income seniors, veterans, individuals living with disabilities, and children (lead and asthma-related) by providing critical housing repairs and safety modifications.

Through community collaboration and dedicated support, we strive to enhance living conditions, foster independence, and restore dignity. Together, we build stronger communities, home by home, block by block.
