The life-changing benefits of affordable homeownership are immense: it can improve school performance, improve financial outcomes, and enhance the health and well-being of children and adults – just to name a few. But due to gendered systemic barriers, like the pay gap and its impact on credit access and uneven childcare responsibilities that limit time and financial resources, it is far more difficult for women to become homeowners. It's even harder for Black women.
CREW Chicago isn't okay with this and we're doing something about it. This October, we’re linking arms, picking up our power tools, and joining in Habitat for Humanity Chicago's Women Build to knock these barriers down. Alongside 780 determined women, we will raise $750,000 to help build Habitat Chicago homes that will be purchased by women with affordable mortgages! Then, we're hitting the Habitat Chicago construction sites to help build the homes.
Help us reach our goal so we can help these women unlock the benefits that homeownership provides and prove that there is nothing a committed group of women can’t achieve when they come together.
Every donation - big, small, or somewhere in between - helps to build a strong, stable, and equitable future.
Way to go. Truly honored to help you on this journey. Best wishes on your goals!
