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. 
 
This October, I'm joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside hundreds of other determined women to knock these barriers down. Together, we will help our fellow women become homeowners with Habitat Chicago.  
 
You can make a difference by helping me reach my fundraising goal. I appreciate any support you can give - big or small.
 
Thank you!
