Did you know about all the great programs Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area operates in our community?
You can picture it in your head with perfect clarity—smiling volunteers raising the framing on a new home, homeowners crying tears of joy while cutting the ribbon knowing their family will have a safe and affordable roof over their heads; these are the images that the name Habitat for Humanity brings to mind.
It has been four years since your Habitat expanded its homeownership program from one home every 18 months to 6 homes per year. Fifty-three local families have achieved the dream of owning their own home BECAUSE OF YOUR GENEROSITY! But did you know that Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area is doing so much more than building homes?
Understanding the needs of the community, YOUR Habitat offers a wide variety of programs that promote and support safe, affordable housing. Unfortunately, like most of America, the pandemic has had a huge impact on our organization. When COVID hit and the community hunkered down, Habitat fundraising events and volunteer opportunities came to a screeching halt. But it only made the need for many housing programs greater. For over a year now, we have had to suspend or greatly reduce some of the other wonderful programs we operate. The need is so great. With your support, all things are possible!

In Support of Habitat for Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region
At Habitat, we envision a Coulee Region with ample, quality housing options and healthy, sustainable communities for all. We believe that decent, affordable housing should be a matter of conscience and action; we realize that there are people in our community who are living in inadequate conditions and that joining together we can provide a hand up – not a hand out. Our values are as follows.
Committed to reuse and environmental sustainability: We believe healthy land and water are essential to a sense of home and belonging. Sustainable practices are embedded in our programs.
Rooted in faith in community: We honor the traditions and values of our founders, and we respect the needs and challenges of our local community as we together seek solutions for affordable housing.
Driven to innovate: We believe our mission calls us to be creative in our work. We look for fresh solutions and partnerships to solve the problems facing our community.
Called to advocate: We demand forward-thinking from our elected officials and work to keep the critical need for quality, affordable housing at the forefront of policy makers’ minds.
