Women Build 10- 14, 2023
Save the dates to come together with a community of women to build a home for a woman-led family in Lake County! Women Build will consist of a fundraising period leading up to a week of building a home for a family in our community. Throughout the build days, Women Builders will work together during the build days and will learn, on a personal level, what their impact means. Together, we can build stronger futures for women through safe, affordable homeownership. Come back soon for details!
Why women?
Achieving housing stability is far more difficult for women to realize than for men in similar situations. Here are just a few reasons why:
- Men earn more on average than women, resulting in access to higher credit, loans with better terms, and higher-quality homes, and safer neighborhoods.
