ReNew
the Block

Sustainable landscaping, critical home repairs, hands-on learning, and urban agriculture come together in one groundbreaking new project: ReNew the Block.

Help us bring our vision to life:

Designed in partnership with residents and Logan Middle School students, ReNew will transform a portion of the Logan Northside Neighborhood into a sustainable oasis our entire community can enjoy.

Habitat's first ReNew the Block location is the block at Avon Street in La Crosse between Sill and Clinton Streets, incorporating 29 city parcels, Logan Middle School, and city boulevards and sidewalks. Our work is tailored to the unique opportunities and challenges of the neighborhood.

Plans integrate layers of community revitalization:

  • Home Repair

    Implementing interior and exterior repairs for homeowners most in need

  • Stormwater Mitigation

    Protecting our natural environment by restoring water infiltration

  • Urban Agriculture

    Providing access to nature, shared outdoor spaces, and healthy food

  • Education

    Creating hands-on, outdoor workshops and signage

The ReNew the Block project is bold.

It is meant to be bold. It needs to be bold.
It will highlight all that is possible when neighbors come together. Habitat for Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region is ready to showcase this pilot project as the first of its kind and set the stage for future efforts in the City of La Crosse, as well as across the nation.
