Community & Partnership Impact

The property at 158 N. Maple Avenue stands as a symbol of successful community collaboration:

  • Site Renewal: The lot was acquired in 2025 from the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Green Bay following the demolition of a severely blighted apartment building, transforming a former blighted property into a catalyst for neighborhood growth.
  • Workforce Development: Students from the Green Bay Area Public Schools’ Bridges Construction & Renovation Program actively participated in constructing the home during the 2025–2026 school year, gaining hands-on experience in skilled trades alongside partners from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and the Brown County Home Builders Association.

Affordability Through Assistance

While the home is listed at fair market value to help strengthen neighborhood property values, NWGB makes homeownership achievable through down payment and closing cost assistance. Qualified buyers can access no-interest, deferred-payment financing options to lower upfront costs and monthly payments.

Open House: Today, August 19, 2026, from 4-6 p.m.
