Habitat for Humanity of Wisconsin

A great opportunity with our AmeriCorps VISTA partner Kinship in Milwaukee! It's been such a joy getting to know this organization over the last few years.

Health and housing are inextricably linked. When we partner with families to build or repair houses, the impacts go far beyond the roof over their heads. Love to see Wisconsin joining the growing number of states using Medicaid's flexibility to address nonmedical needs to help folks stay (or become) healthy. https://lnkd.in/gXVnkKJ8

NCCC is a great opportunity for young folks looking to experience different places in the US, learn about a variety of issues, explore potential careers, all while making a difference! If you know a recent high school or college graduate deciding what to do next, NCCC could be the answer.

I am thrilled to mark my two-year anniversary at Habitat for Humanity of Wisconsin! ?????? I am grateful to be a part of a larger effort; Habitat continues to champion sustainability, equity, and affordable homeownership, not only in Wisconsin but also in 70 countries worldwide! ?? I have enjoyed meeting so many great folks; the passion and dedication of partner families, Wisconsin affiliate leaders, and HFHI leadership is truly inspiring! ?? A special thank you to the HFH Wisconsin board members, staff, and Wisconsin affiliates for your support! ?? #habitatforhumanity #affordablehomeownership #timeflies #goodtrouble

What a pleasure touring The River Food Pantry and meeting with Executive Director, Rhonda Adams and her team! We had a great conversation exploring a community approach to leverage our collective impact to move the needle on food insecurity and housing stability. ?? Habitat needs more partners like The River to address the social determinants of health with *big* ideas .?????? Thanks Rhonda, Helen Osborn-Senatus, MSW and Ryan Holley for your hospitality and a tasty, nutritious lunch!?? Did you know that The River is expanding their services and building a new sustainable facility through A Recipe for Hope campaign? Check it out and donate! https://lnkd.in/ddEi--RM https://lnkd.in/dwMRhMv3 #HabitatforHumanity #TheRiverFoodPantry #SocialDeterminantsofHealth #goodtrouble

An interesting article on the economic factors of the current housing market.

Love this sentiment by Habitat volunteer Terra Lumley. "By being inclusive to all, you are inviting more people to participate in Habitat’s mission of providing safe, affordable housing." When we come together and build a Habitat home, we're building so much more than just a house.

As we observe Juneteenth with a day of reflection and action, Habitat remains committed to advancing Black homeownership and helping to dismantle the systemic bias that permeates U.S. home buying, home financing and exclusionary zoning practices.?

Kinship is one of our AmeriCorps VISTA partners, and a great organization for anyone looking to complete a year of national service. Check out their Communcations & Marketing VISTA opportunity below!

Honored and thrilled!
