Habitat for Humanity’s Women Builders have been picking up a hammer and helping change lives for more than 25 years. Are you ready to build with us? Join the Habitat Women Build movement and the ranks of 300+ women who will come together to raise walls, awareness and funds!
This year, we will be looking at all the powerful influences of women in our world. From mothers to innovators, at every intersection, and all backgrounds, this year, we elevate those who have come before us to pave the way, and those who are walking their path now. Join us for the 2024 Women Build season.
Why Women Build Matters:
- Achieving housing stability is far more difficult for women to realize than for men in similar situations. Here are just three reasons why:
- Men earn more on average than women, resulting in access to higher credit, better loans and better quality homes and neighborhoods.
- Unequal caregiving responsibilities limit a woman’s ability to dedicate the necessary time to obtaining and maintaining consistent employment and decent housing.
- Single women are denied mortgages at higher rates than single men despite the fact women are more reliable at paying back mortgages.
