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 childcare 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.
I participated in this event with ARCO/Murray last year and loved it so much that I joined the Women Build Committee with Habitat Chicago! The mission is so important and I am happy to continue to make a change with other badass women. 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.
Change happens one person at a time. Every dollar counts!
