Homes MKE

Renovating Vacant Homes and Returning Them to Productive Use

In 2021, the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee allocated $15 million in Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to the Department of City Development (DCD) for the Homes MKE Program to renovate vacant houses in the City’s inventory of tax-foreclosed residential properties and return them to productive use.

The goals of Homes MKE are to:

  • sell, renovate and reoccupy up to 150 vacant foreclosed City owned houses.
  • prioritize the development of the houses to provide home ownership opportunities for City residents.
  • coordinate redevelopment efforts in a manner that results in a positive impact for the surrounding neighborhood.
  • provide construction and job opportunities.
  • provide development opportunities for emerging developers.
  • collaborate with local residents to provide housing and resource opportunities in neighborhoods where Program properties are located.

What's Happening Right Now: April 19, 2023: Builders have begun renovations at multiple vacant City-owned properties throughout Milwaukee. Text, "Homes MKE" to (414)708-1182 to start your homeownership journey today!
