Homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future - for themselves and their family. 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, there are many hurdles keeping women from homeownership.
This October, I'm grabbing my hardhat 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.
You can make a difference by helping my team reach our fundraising goal!
Change happens one person at a time. I appreciate any support you can give - big, small, or somewhere in between.
