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 grabbing my hammer 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.
Women Build isn’t just about swinging hammers. It’s about amplifying women’s voices, creating space for leadership, and showing up for each other in tangible, powerful ways. It’s about equity, empowerment, and action.
Please consider joining the movement by helping me reach my fundraising goal and prove that there's nothing a group of committed women can't do.
