YouthBuild
Sometimes, building a home also builds a life. Milwaukee Community Crossroads’ YouthBuild program does both, by training young adults, ages 18 to 24, in the skills to build homes for low-income families, while offering them an education towards a future career in construction, carpentry and other trades. YouthBuild is free to join.
To learn more, call 414-902-5394 or contact us.
Housing Production
Milwaukee Community Crossroads’ Housing Production program transforms vacant lots and vacant houses into safe, affordable single-family homes for low-income families. Turning what was nothing into home ownership, pride and a sense of community. To learn more, email housing@mccwi.org
Early Childhood Education (ECE) Educators
ECE Educators are fundamental to the quality of life of the children they serve, the communities they are in, and the thousands of families in Milwaukee that could not go to work if there was not a safe and enriching place to send their children. Through the investments of the Department of Workforce Development, Northwestern Mutual Foundation, American Family Institute, City of Milwaukee, LISC, CDA, and others, 40 new single-family homes will be built near 5 major ECE Providers. Are you emolyed by an ECE provider and would like to submit for a home? Click the button below to find out if you're eligible. To learn more, email housing@mccwi.org
