Habitat In the News

We’re grateful to TMJ4 for highlighting the workforce housing work happening in Whitewater. For many working families—teachers, first responders, manufacturing employees and others—the challenge isn’t employment. It’s finding a home they can afford to own in the community where they work.

For over twenty years, Habitat for Humanity in Walworth County built only one or two homes per year. In 2026, the organization’s board approved an expansion of its homebuilding efforts to address the worldwide housing crisis.
