Habitat for Humanity Chicago is a nonprofit committed to building a city where every resident lives in a healthy home in a stable community. I have been on the emerging leaders board for habitat this past year and I am helping to raise funds for them to further their ability to assist as many families as possible!
Decent, stable, and affordable housing is crucial for a family's overall health and well-being. Families living in decent housing experience fewer health issues and are less likely to require emergency care. Children living in quality and affordable housing are significantly more likely to graduate from high school and college. Families living in affordable homes have double the discretionary income to pay down debt or invest in a savings account.
With one in ten Chicagoans currently living in inadequate housing, now is the time to act. You can make a difference! If you contribute to my goal of $1000, you can help ensure that more families have the opportunity to thrive. :)
I appreciate any support you can give - big, small, or somewhere in between!
