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.
This October, my female coworkers at ARCO/Murray and I are joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside 500 determined women to knock these barriers down. We're excited to be working alongside each other towards an impactful goal. 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! 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. This event is all about empowering women and construction - both of which I am passionate about!
