Buy a Home, Build a Community
ACTS Vision & Impact

A

CTS vision is that each block inside the church neighborhoods we serve is made up of at least 60% homeowners who are self-empowered. Self-empowered families have access to low-cost money, are entrepreneurial, build wealth through home ownership, and live in safe, sanitary, and affordable housing.

In 2011, ACTS

  • Sold 120 homes, managed 45 rehab projects, and guided over $7 Million of investment into Milwaukee.
     
  • Assisted with 84 foreclosure sales, returning vacant, blighted, and bank or government-owned properties to responsible occupancy.
     
  • Helped a diverse group of participants: Asian (24%), Black (30%), Latino (42%), and White (4%).  Most families are existing residents of our church neighborhoods who decide to purchase their first home.
         
  • Helped lower-income families with affordable housing:  The typical income of each family is about $2,890/month even as the cost of homeownership was about $450/month.
        
  • Maintained our goal of helping large families with an average of 4 person households.
