Right now there are almost 260,000 people in Chicago that are in need of affordable housing. That's a crazy number, but Habitat for Humanity is working with communities to change that.

Myself and fellow A.T. Kearney employees will be putting on our hard hats to help build a home for a hardworking Chicago family in need of a decent place to live.

Even though you can't be there in person, you can help too! I've set a personal goal of $100 that will go towards ensuring a Habitat Chicago family has a place to call home. Any support that you can give -- big or small -- will be greatly appreciated!
