NEIGHBORHOOD FOR BLOCK BUILD 2024!

“Safe and stable housing is a human right. Everyone deserves to live in a quality home that is safe and free of hazards. We are beyond thrilled about partnering with Revitalize Milwaukee for Block Build MKE! This amazing event will help us work towards our goal of ensuring that all Amani residents have a safe and stable home.”

Block Build MKE is our signature annual event where volunteers and community partners come together to transform multiple neighborhood blocks in one weekend. On this weekend, corporations and individuals work on up to 30 homes that are owned by low-income elderly, veterans, and/or those living with a disability.

The two days are full of activity—hundreds of volunteers donate their skills and sweat equity to complete numerous repairs and beautification updates. Every project we undertake is unique. Each home comes with a different history, specialized homeowner needs, and its own scope of work. Once deployed, we do everything from yard cleanup and painting to skilled plumbing, windows, electrical, and flooring repairs.

There are many ways to get involved in Block Build!

  • Sponsor the event

  • Sponsor a house

  • Sponsor dumpsters, supplies, food, beverages, printing, landscaping,

  • Gather a group and use this as a team building event

  • Donate materials

  • Donate money

  • Come up with your own way to get involved!
