Two new homes, dozens of garden plots, and community green space for all to enjoy: Habitat for Humanity is launching a series of projects on the corner of 10th and Division Streets in La Crosse's Washburn Neighborhood.
Project overview
946 Division Street
Habitat is giving new life to a 100-year-old home. Moved from just down the block, this American Foursquare style home features original hardwood floors, beautiful woodwork, and an inviting front porch.
With the help of local tradespeople and Habitat volunteers, we will update this house with modern features. Join us on the jobsite and be part of this home's story.
508 10th Street
This lot will be home to a high quality, energy efficient modular home. New modular construction technology allows developers like Habitat to build more homes more quickly, meeting the critical need for housing in our community.
Learn more about modular housing below.
Community Gardens
Together with the neighborhood, we are reviving the Washburn Community Gardens on Division Street. This site will feature thirty plots with updated features and shared amenities.
New garden spaces will build on the legacy of community gardening in this neighborhood and will reflect the vision and input of neighbors.
