Everyone Deserves a Decent Place to Live

We partner with our communities’ hardworking families that may struggle to access safe and affordable housing while covering all of life’s expenses. Our housing solutions include new home and rehab construction and the improvement of homes in need of critical repairs.

Additionally, we revitalize neighborhoods through our Rock the Block program and operate a ReStore in Appleton where donations of home goods and building materials are gratefully accepted.

Home is in Their Hands

We partner with donors, volunteers and sponsors to assist families with needed resources so they can buy and maintain their own homes.

The families we work with invest “sweat equity” by taking financial and home management courses, as well as physically building their homes with teams of skilled professionals and volunteers.

See what happens when families can access safe and affordable shelter by reading our Family Impact Study.

What Home Means for Maya and Mirabella

“I think there’s a misconception that you just get a free home, and you don’t. You work hard, you partner, you make friendships, you learn skills, you put your heart into the community, and they give it right back to you.”

Partnering with Pillars for a Sweet Cause

“When you lose your home, it can feel like an uphill battle to find your way to stability. When our community comes together to support each other, it gives people hope. Hope is important to overcome difficult situations and can make a difference. This gift is special because it comes from people who know how difficult the road to stability can be.”
