Habitat Tool Replacement

We are absolutely devastated. This morning (10/29/2021) we have learned that our trailer was broken into at the build site (4515 26th Ave) and ALL of our tools have been stolen. The tools that were stolen are crucial for us to continue to build affordable housing here in our community. If you have any information on the theft that happened, please contact the Kenosha Police Department (262-656-1234) immediately.

As a non-profit, we work hard to fundraise and collect donations for the items we need. If you would like to donate to helps us replace these stolen items, you can donate to our GoFundMe page.

The quicker we can replace the stolen tools, the quicker we can get back to building these homes. Without these tools, we are at a hault and are unable to continue building.

Thank you for your support!

Our Story...

Habitat for Humanity of Kenosha was founded in 2012 by community members that shared a vision to revitalize Kenosha’s neighborhoods and help hardworking, low-income families achieve a dream of homeownership. We provide affordable housing in partnership with the family’s needs, create stronger neighborhoods by restoring a sense of community and pride that comes with homeownership, and build community by joining together hundreds of volunteers for every build.

We build homes alongside families who demonstrate need and willingness to partner with HFHK. Families invest hundreds of hours of their own “sweat-equity” labor into the houses. With the hundreds of volunteers per home, we are able to provide virtually all of the house-building labor costs making the homes affordable for low-income families.

Studies show that children who grow up in a stable, decent environment are more likely to do better in school, be well-adjusted, and break the cycle of poverty. We at Habitat for Humanity of Kenosha want to help break the cycle of poverty, one family at a time, by being able to provide families with the most basic of needs: a decent, affordable place to live.
