Homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future, one that far too many women are denied access. From the gender pay gap, to uneven caregiving responsibilities, to higher rates of mortgage denials, the hurdles keeping women from homeownership are high. 
 
This October, for the fourth time, I'm putting on my pink hard hat and joining Habitat Chicago's Women Build! Alongside hundreds of Chicago women, 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. This year we're working on homes in the West Pullman neighborhood.
 
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. 
 
Thanks!
Susan
