About us
Renters to owners, houses to homes, and blocks to communities: Acts’ families reclaim distressed housing stock and actually save money switching from renting to owning. Acts Housing believes that a quality, affordable home is the key to strengthening individuals, families, neighborhoods and the city of Milwaukee, and that homeownership should be available to all. More than 7,300 individuals, the majority of them children, live in homes purchased through Acts’ homeownership program since 1995. Children living in owner occupied homes perform better in school. Neighborhoods where families are homeowners form more stable communities. When a family is able to save hundreds of dollars switching from renting to owning, they are able to breathe easier. Acts Housing's mission is empowerment through homeownership. Our vision: to create vibrant Milwaukee neighhborhoods through homeownership. Acts Housing accomplishes this vision by providing key services to make sure home is available to families with income, credit, and language barriers. Throughout the process, Acts Housing’s staff act as supportive guides to families, by providing: • Financial literacy services and home buyer counseling • Nonprofit real estate brokerage • Home repair counseling • Micro-loans for home repair In short, Acts Housing is a one stop shop for homeownership, empowering strong families and individuals to become homeowners and reclaim Milwaukee's vacant, vandalized foreclosures.

Big news! Vanessa Williams is officially a homeowner! After years of searching for a rental, Vanessa decided to take the leap and buy instead. She expressed that with soaring rental rates it made more sense to buy instead of rent. Vanessa worked with Acts Housing Homebuyer Coaching team and later the Acts Homes team when she purchased an Acts Homes property! Help us congratulate Vanessa on this great accomplishment!

On Wednesday, we hosted another insightful Tour of Homes, allowing interested individuals to see firsthand the impactful work we’re doing in our community. Participants explored a City of Milwaukee tax foreclosure to understand the state of housing inventory. They then visited Maria's house to witness her rehab journey and see the dedication that went into transforming her home. The Tour of Homes is a fantastic opportunity for anyone wanting to learn more about our mission and the work we do. Thank you to everyone who joined us! A special shout-out to Rotary Club of Milwaukee members for attending! If you are interested in learning more about Tour of Homes contact Jessi Pham at jessica@actshousing.org for more information.
