This is my second year participating Women Build. I was so inspired as a Crew Leader in 2017 that I chose to lead a full team of 12 women this year with my colleague Beth. Together, we will completely fund and begin building the home of a woman-led family AND celebrate all of the women purchasing affordable homes with Habitat for Humanity Chicago.

Homeownership is one of the most dynamic tools a person can use to build a strong and stable future, but it is a tool that far too many women are unjustly being denied access.

From the gender pay gap and its impact on credit profiles, to uneven child care responsibilities that consume time and financial resources, to higher rates of mortgage denials despite superior payment performance, the barriers keeping women from homeownership are massive.

But I'm doing something about it and joining in Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside 300 other powerhouse women to knock these barriers down. Please help me make a difference by donating to my fundraising goal!

Thank YOU!
Katie
