2014-15 Habitat Volunteer Management, Oshkosh, WI
 
 
 
Nearly 20% of Wisconsin residents pay more than 50% of their family income for housing. With a large and growing need for affordable housing in our state, the 40 local Habitat for Humanity affiliates in Wisconsin are working hard to address that need by partnering with low-income families to build, rehab or repair homes. Habitat for Humanity's vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live, and we believe in the value of home ownership, both for Wisconsin's families and for the communities in which they live. Habitat for Humanity of Wisconsin (HHW) exists to support Habitat for Humanity affiliates throughout the state of Wisconsin in a coordinated effort to eliminate substandard housing. Our goal is to strengthen affiliates and increase capacity, which ultimately benefits low income families in our state. Our statewide VISTA project will help affiliates build capacity within their organizations and assist them in serving more low-income families, providing decent, affordable housing to help families build wealth and break the cycle of poverty, for themselves and future generations. The VISTA members assigned to Habitat affiliates will provide volunteer coordination, public relations, fund development, sustainable building and recycling program development services.
