Housing
We are devoted to serving you.
A major issue facing individuals returning from incarceration is housing. Too many people return home only to find they don’t know where that is. Project RETURN works with landlords to ensure housing opportunities are available to our clients who are in need
|
In March 2025, our nonprofit expanded to begin providing short-term apartments to men who had served their sentence but demonstrated an acute need for housing upon release. Project RETURN now manages 12 apartments in our new headquarters, on the second floor of the Historic Tenth Street Residences at 1004 N. 10th St. in Downtown Milwaukee.
Project RETURN anticipates the typical length of stay to be around six months as the men reacclimate to living in the community, secure employment, save money, and continue working toward stability and self-sufficiency. All of our existing programs remain available to the public as well as to the new residents. |

“At Project RETURN, we believe in action. We know that housing is the pre-eminent need in Milwaukee, especially for our formerly incarcerated brothers and sisters. That’s why Project RETURN is taking on this initiative: because we know it will make a difference for our community and the people we serve. Above all, these men will be able to live with dignity in a community where they are understood, accepted and supported.”
– Wendel Hruska, Project RETURN executive director. |
