VineBrook Provides Milwaukeeans with More Affordable Single-Family Housing Options

Converts nearly five percent of its rental properties into owner-occupied homes, expanding
Milwaukee's tight housing supply to those who may not have had prior access to homeownership

DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- VineBrook Homes (VineBrook) announced today that it has made homeownership a reality for dozens of Milwaukee's hard-working residents who may have been denied opportunities to purchase homes in the past. Year to date, the company sold or is in contract to sell approximately five percent of its local single-family rental portfolio to owner-occupants, expanding the housing supply to a segment of the community that is typically in need of more single-family homes.

VineBrook is one of the only large single-family rental companies dedicated to providing affordable housing. With the addition of its owner-occupant sales, the company has added yet another option for affordable, accessible single-family living that otherwise might not be available in Milwaukee's supply-challenged market.

"VineBrook was founded on a vision to acquire and restore distressed properties resulting in rejuvenated neighborhoods and access to safe, affordable single-family homes for workers and families," said Dana Sprong, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of VineBrook Homes, LLC. "VineBrook is proud to be part of the Milwaukee community and we are committed to breaking down the barriers to single-family living for all Milwaukeeans."

VineBrook's local team is dedicated to helping alleviate pressures of increasing interest rates and higher prices from inflation by expanding the housing supply in Milwaukee's neighborhoods where there are limited sources of homes organically coming to the market. The company is also collaborating with some of the City's leading organizations focused on ensuring quality housing, equitable homeownership and financial literacy.

"VineBrook is providing Milwaukee's residents with steppingstones to homeownership, including the opportunity to build equity with the purchase of our affordable homes or access to single-family rentals with average monthly rents that are normally well below nationally recognized benchmarks for affordability," said Ryan McGarry, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Partner of VineBrook Homes, LLC. "Our goal is to partner with local community leaders to offer greater affordability in housing options, equipping residents with the necessary tools to build the future they desire for themselves and their families. We share a common purpose for the betterment of Milwaukee."
