As a teenager, I participated in Habitat for Humanity through Church youth group. And now, I feel so blessed that I can participate as an adult. This is my second year with Women Build, and I am thrilled to be volunteer alongside such accomplished women in CRE. Empowered Women empower women.
Homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future. However, it is a tool that far too many women are unjustly denied access. From the gender pay gap and its impact on credit profiles, to uneven child care responsibilities that consume time and financial resources, to higher rates of mortgage denials despite superior payment performance, the barriers keeping women from homeownership are massive.
I'm grabbing my hammer, strapping on my tool belt, and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside 400 other powerhouse women to knock these barriers down. Together, we will help our fellow women become homeowners with Habitat Chicago, a nonprofit committed to building a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
You can make a difference. Please help me reach my fundraising goal so we can change the lives of these women forever and prove that there's nothing a group of committed women can't do.
