Acts Housing

Acts Housing brought their successful Milwaukee-based program model to Beloit in 2019 to assist striving families in achieving their dream of home ownership. A true “hands-up” model, the organization partners with community members in an entrepreneurial style, giving participants support and coaching as they learn about and are empowered to build the skills necessary to support ownership.

At the conclusion of its Beloit initiative, Acts will have supported at least 150 families, increased ownership in the Merrill and Hackett neighborhoods and built a sustainable, viable, affordable homeownership market in Beloit for families with limited incomes.
