2026 Habitat Home Preservation Program - Grafton, WI

The goal of the Habitat for Humanity of Wisconsin VISTA Program is to build a better Wisconsin by assisting local organizations to increase the capacity and sustainability of programs focused on alleviating poverty. With passion, commitment, and hard work, our AmeriCorps VISTA members help organizations in bring individuals & communities out of poverty. Habitat for Humanity of Ozaukee County serves communities to the north of Milwaukee, with the affiliate offices located in the town of Grafton. Despite being so close to Wisconsin’s largest city, Ozaukee County is home to many nature preserves and parks, including the (locally famous) Lion’s Den Gorge on Lake Michigan. Habitat for Humanity envisions a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Together we can build homes, communities, and hope. Habitat for Humanity knows that safe, decent, affordable shelter plays a critical role in helping families to create a new cycle, one filled with possibilities and progress. Affordable homeownership frees families and fosters the skills and confidence they need to invest in themselves and their communities. The outcomes can be long-lasting and life-changing.
