Current Builds
Explore this page to see what we're currently working on. Meet the Habitat Partner Families who will soon be purchasing a Habitat home! The home build process takes about four to six months from the moment we begin to dig the foundation to the day the home is dedicated. The Homeownership Program and family selection process take about 18-24 months to complete. Each of our Habitat Partner Families goes through the application and selection process to demonstrate that they need safe, decent, affordable housing, the ability to pay for the home mortgage, and the willingness to partner with Habitat. To learn about past Habitat families, please visit our Success Stories page!

After moving to Green Bay a few years ago to be closer to family, Kia and her four children live in an extremely cramped living space. Kia wants the stability and independence of homeownership and a house where her children can grow and a home that be passed along for generations.
I moved to Green Bay looking for a new start and to be closer to family. What I'm looking forward to as a homeowner is the stability it will create, the memories we will make as a family, and being able to pass my home along to future generations. I want to be an inspiration to single mothers. |

I came to Wisconsin with the dream of providing my children with a better education, future, and having my own house - a home where my children could have their own space; a warm and welcoming space to call HOME. I loved the way Habitat for Humanity helps families like mine to have a home of their own. It is amazing how volunteers help other people build their home. It's a dream come true for my children and me. |

I am a single mom of three amazing kids. I work as a family support specialist in the child welfare field and I'm also a full-time college student. As a family, we work and learn how to be gentle and kind every day. My kids look forward to having more room and privacy and they've all voted on growing a garden at our future home. As a mother, it is my job to take on the world and learn everything along the way so that I can help my children navigate their lives. I am so excited to be able to learn to grow with Habitat for Humanity. |

#135 - Felix and Zulayka
|
As a family of six, Felix and Zulayka live in a three-bedroom home. The rooms are too small, the home is older and several family members have severe allergies and asthma in addition to other unsafe accommodations. A decent, affordable home is necessary for the family to find strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. Felix and Zulayka need and deserve a house where they can feel safe and the kids can grow up in a healthy environment.
As a family, we are very united, humble, responsible and very helpful. This, having a home, is something we've wanted for a very long time because we always had in mind to give our children a stable and safe place to live. We have no words to express how we will feel once we have a home of our own. |
#136 - Rosa
|
For Rosa and her three children, living space is small and the environment is not ideal. Living in an older home, things do not work efficiently, summers are difficult with no air conditioning and windows that are unable to be opened. Rosa is working hard for her family to have a space with the children can have privacy and a healthy space to reside. Rosa has a deep faith with God and has prayed very hard for her family for this blessing that she has worked tirelessly for.
I am a single mother, and I have always told my children that we are a team. I consider my family humble, simple, and we live modestly. I am working on my children's values and their education and I have told them that as long as we have God in our hearts, nothing bad will happen to us and that is all we need. I love being home with my children and being in God's home. |

#137 - Erika & Itzya

Future homebuyers Erika and Itzya are a family of five, and a determined mother-daughter duo. Green Bay is where the family's mother, Erika, planted her "seeds" to try her hardest to create a home. Erika's four children include Itzya, also the future homebuyer of the home, along with her siblings Daniela, Christian and Jovanny. Itzya is creating inspiration in the community as a teacher and Erika is truly the matriarch of the family.
Our family has never had the possibility of living in a house before, much less own a house. When we heard about Habitat and the amazing impact your team has done in the past with other families we stopped and questioned, would we be able to fulfill our dream of owning a house through the Habitat team? Here we are trying our best to have this dream come true. |
