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 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 thankful to get to work daily with our team at Habitat Chicago to do something about this! We are providing safe housing at an affordable price with the supports needed to ensure our homebuyers are successful homeOWNERS!

You can make a difference. 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. I appreciate any support you can give - big, small, or somewhere in between.

Thanks!
Katie
