Women Build
From fundraising through construction this group builds two Habitat homes a year and repairs another through A Brush with Kindness.
The Women of Habitat program empowers women to lead as volunteers and philanthropists. We tap into the power of women by offering the opportunity to leverage their strengths and resources.
In so many ways, affordable housing is a women’s issue. A quarter of our homebuyers are single women raising children; nearly all homebuyers are families including mothers and children. Involvement with Women of Habitat through Women Build and the Hope Builders Luncheon helps women achieve financial independence and stable, affordable housing.
Habitat’s Homeownership Program empowers women through sweat equity, homeowner training, and affordable mortgages that allow them to invest more in their families.

Join us on October 8 for the annual Women of Habitat Hope Builders Luncheon, which generates support for families to build brighter futures for generations to come. Chris Coleman, Habitat's new President & CEO, will facilitate a panel discussion on how affordable housing is a crucial building block for stable, healthy neighborhoods.
