Homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future. 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 - especially in Chicago.
This October, I'm grabbing my hammer with my SCB colleagues, strapping on my tool belt, and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside 780 determined women to knock these barriers down. Together, we will help our fellow women become homeowners with Habitat Chicago, a nonprofit committed to championing healthy neighborhoods by investing in resident priorities, building quality homes, and supporting homeownership.
You can make a difference by helping me reach my fundraising goal 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 - big, small, or somewhere in between.
This is a great event for the Chicago Design Community - it allows us an opportunity to get together as architects, and build for a great cause.
