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 hurdles keeping women from homeownership are high.
Working at Hines has allowed me to be part of a company that helps build workplaces, homes, and communities. As a woman in real estate, I'm passionate about not only smashing through the glass ceiling in the workplace but also having the ability to give back to women who do not have the same resources that have been extended to me. I'm excited to be able to do that by building and funding homes for women in the West Pullman area.
This October, I'm joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build, alongside 500 determined 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 by helping 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.
Change happens one person at a time. I appreciate any support you can give.
