The 100 House Campaign

In 2010, Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity received a three year Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Milwaukee is one of only a handful of communities receiving these funds, and they will allow Milwaukee Habitat to build 100 affordable homes on foreclosed properties. Milwaukee Habitat has also committed to a three year campaign to raise $6.5 million to match these grant funds.

St. Robert is proud to join with Milwaukee Habitat in faith , hard work and giving to help them reach this goal. Let's make a difference in the community while having fun, learning new skills and meeting new people!


What Can I Do?

Oh, there's lots to do, and we need you! St. Robert parishioners can help in two key ways -volunteering their time and talent, and contributing their treasure.  Sign up for our summer 2012 work dates by contacting parishioner Patrick Williams at (414) 241-1889.
