In the U.S., 1 in 6 households pay half or more of their income on their home. Women are disproportionately affected by this severe cost-burden and make up a larger share of U.S. households living in poverty and as well as receiving government-subsidized housing. At Habitat for Humanity we know that safe, affordable housing means that individuals and families have the opportunity to thrive. However, women face challenges that make it more difficult to access this basic need. Women Build brings women together to confront these challenges by building homes for other women, alongside the future homeowners. This action can change the life of a family forever through homeownership. Locally, hundreds of women will come together to act against unaffordable housing through fundraising and volunteerism to create a lasting impact in our community. Your support in this mission to raise awareness of the challenges women face accessing affordable housing can change the life of a family forever.
