Habitat for Humanity of Wausau and its Wausau Habitat ReStore operate as a local non-profit focused on expanding safe, decent housing by helping low-income families become homeowners through a volunteer-driven construction program and a nonprofit mortgage model. The organization relies on in-kind donations and community volunteers to build homes, with skilled tradespeople engaged for essential tasks such as plumbing and electrical work. Founded in 1990 and based in Weston, Wisconsin, it has completed 71 homes in the Wausau area. It operates with a small staff and depends on broad community participation to carry out its projects. Funding and program support come from the Habitat Wausau ReStore, which contributes to construction materials, land acquisition, mortgage assistance, and wider community development. In March 2026, the organization and its ReStore were recognized with the 2025 Small Business of the Year Award in the Charitable Non-Profit category by a local chamber of commerce, reflecting its local impact.
