Take Root Milwaukee and the Reclaiming Our Neighborhoods (RON) Coalition are partnering in a new community outreach effort to connect City of Milwaukee residents to trusted, homeownership resources. Take Root is a consortium of 55+ community-based organizations, Realtors, financial institutions, and government that promotes free or low-cost services to help people buy, keep, or fix a home.

Welcome to our site!

BUY: Interested in buying a home? Take Root Milwaukee recommends that everyone start by working with a HUD-approved Housing Counseling Agency. Visit our Getting Started page for more information on homeownership education and links to members
