As always it is an exciting time at ACTS. Wrapping up our summer season with 98 sales for the year, hiring three new talented team members and working as hard as ever for our families has kept us busy this quarter. we could not do it without you – supporting ACTS means supporting dedicated, talented families such as Patryce – see her story below. Thank you for your support thus far. We hope we can count on you to help us continue this important work.

ACTS, in partnership with the City of Milwaukee, aims to help 60 families purchase tax foreclosed properties in 2015. Through May, we have already helped 27 families reclaim such properties. Featured below is Stephanie Reel, who purchased a city tax foreclosure in 2013. We hope you enjoy reading about Stephanie, and we ask for your support as we partner with families like hers to revitalize some of Milwaukee’s most challenged blocks.

From January through September, ACTS helped more than 100 families purchase inner-city homes, and over 70 of those were vacant and vandalized foreclosures.

What a great first half of 2014 it has been! ACTS is growing to meet the demand of the foreclosure crisis, adding three new team members in just the past couple of months.

We’ve got some great features in this edition of ACTS in Action, including the announcement of an exciting new partnership with the City of Milwaukee. I’d also like to congratulate Carl, as he was named one of the Milwaukee Business Journal’s 40 Under 40, an award that honors Milwaukee’s up-and-coming leaders.

It’s been a busy quarter at ACTS Housing. In this issue you can learn more about how we’re changing the foreclosure crisis story.

Instead of viewing the foreclosure crisis as a problem, ACTS believes it is an opportunity for low-income renters to become homeowners.
