ReNEW La Crosse Neighborhoods (Revitalizing Neighborhood Empowerment With La Crosse Neighborhoods) is a partnership of neighbors, non-profit and public agencies, local businesses, and community members, working together for neighborhood revitalization.
ReNEW volunteers will assist local housing and community development programs, including Habitat for Humanity, the City of La Crosse, Couleecap, RSVP, La Crosse County, Mayo Clinic Health System, Wells Fargo and Gundersen Health System, to help improve the overall appearance of the Lower Northside Depot and Logan Neighborhoods. Projects include simple repairs, painting, landscaping, gardens and general yard clean-up.
ReNEW 2019 will run every Saturday between June 1 – 29 and end with a Block Party on Saturday, June 29th. During the month, ReNEW has a goal of completing 30 projects in the Lower Northside Depot Neighborhood, with keystone projects at the Kane Street Gardens and Train Depot.
Since its inaugural year in 2013, ReNEW has completed 251 projects on 158 properties, with over 6,000 hours of work contributed by volunteers. Helping to serve over 250 people!

Our Partners
In Support of Habitat for Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region
At Habitat, we envision a Coulee Region with ample, quality housing options and healthy, sustainable communities for all. We believe that decent, affordable housing should be a matter of conscience and action; we realize that there are people in our community who are living in inadequate conditions and that joining together we can provide a hand up – not a hand out. Our values are as follows.
Committed to reuse and environmental sustainability: We believe healthy land and water are essential to a sense of home and belonging. Sustainable practices are embedded in our programs.
Rooted in faith in community: We honor the traditions and values of our founders, and we respect the needs and challenges of our local community as we together seek solutions for affordable housing.
Driven to innovate: We believe our mission calls us to be creative in our work. We look for fresh solutions and partnerships to solve the problems facing our community.
Called to advocate: We demand forward-thinking from our elected officials and work to keep the critical need for quality, affordable housing at the forefront of policy makers’ minds.
