Women have a harder time accessing homeownership because of lower income, uneven care responsibilities, and mortgage denials and rates. Due to historical racist housing policies (like redlining, predatory lending, racial covenants, and more) and the stark wealth gap between Black and White Americans, Black women have an especially harder time becoming homeowners.
 
This October, I'm grabbing my hammer, strapping on my tool belt, and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside hundreds of 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.  

Change happens one person at a time. Please donate on my page, no donation is too small!

Thank you,
