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 too many women are unjustly being denied access.

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

But we're doing something about it. I'm joining in Habitat Chicago's Women Build alongside 300 other women to knock these barriers down.

Together, we will completely fund and begin building the home of a woman-led family with Habitat for Humanity Chicago.

You can make a difference. I appreciate any support you can give - big, small, or somewhere in between.

Thanks!
