Bringing people together to provide and preserve affordable housing opportunities.

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.

We loved hosting Edward Jones for their inaugural Team Build on the Washburn rehab home this past week, a group eager to dig into a variety of projects 🛠️💪🏘️

Those at Edward Jones believe a fulfilled life happens when you live, work and act with purpose. By working together 🤝 we achieve Habitat's mission of bringing people together to provide and preserve affordable housing opportunities and create a community where all feel they belong.

The final numbers are in.... ♻♻♻

Since April, Team Habitat has recycled 16,226 pounds of aluminum, which translates to $13,015 in funding for Habitat's housing programs!!

Recycled material comes from the cans you donate, salvaged ReClaim materials, and broken or unsellable items at the ReStore. It's a true team effort.

We're proud to team up with Novelis, which provides recycling bins and grants to Habitat affiliates in support of this initiative. In addition to our recycling income, Novelis' financial support directly fuels our critical programs. Thank you!

Can cages have been emptied, so it's time to fill 'em up again! Bring your aluminum cans to the following locations, where we turn them into funding for affordable housing: Habitat ReStore La Crosse, Swarthout Park, Veterans Park, or Goose Island.

Every year, Habitat partners with Novelis to transform every donated can into support for building and repairing homes in our region. Novelis offers grant funding to Habitat affiliates who take on this recycling effort. Thank you Novelis, and thank you to all who donated their cans to us this year!

This week in Washburn 🏡🌱☀️

🌻 Volunteers made serious progress at Washburn Gardens! They’ve built fences, pathways, and beds alongside the team at Coulee Region Ecoscapes. Thank you!!

🏡 Our Construction Manager enjoyed a much-deserved vacation this week, but that didn’t mean it was quiet at the Habitat houses. The walls were insulated, and Dirt Monkey Excavation LLC graded the exterior. We couldn’t do this without our partners!

Stay up to date on all the excitement at Habitatlacrosse.org/washburn.

It’s happening!! 🌱

Every day this week, volunteers are moving dirt, building fences, mulching paths, and planting pollinators at the Washburn Gardens.

Thank you to everyone helping us revive this special place!

How does zoning affect affordable housing? 🏠

Let's talk about it! Come to the Pump House Regional Arts Center on Monday for some snacks, a drink, and good conversation.

Grab a locally made zine, hear from housing advocates, and explore interactive zoning maps. See you there!

La Crosse Logan Middle School students beat the rain and planted their edible schoolyard earlier this week. 🌳🌿🍃

This is part of the third and final phase of ReNew the Block. Together with students, teachers, and neighbors along Avon Street, we've repaired homes, planted trees and rain gardens, installed outdoor classrooms, and learned about the power of green infrastructure and healthy communities.

This fall, we are finishing the edible schoolyard, installing educational signage, and completing the permeable paver pathway.
