All are Women. All are Single Mothers. All became Habitat Homeowners in the last 5 years.

Did you know that nearly 50% of Habitat homeowners applying today are single moms? Did you know that more than 40% of women who head families are now living in poverty?

These 16 women, and their 43 children, each now has a safe and stable home, an affordable mortgage payment, a greater likelihood of their children attending college, an appreciable asset, and a lot less stress.

Habitat breaks the cycle of poverty through affordable homes. The 2012 DuPage Habitat for Humanity Women Build team seeks to engage a diverse group of women to join us and men to support us in this important work. Build Relationships. Build Families. Build Homes. Pick up a Hammer or Write a Check. Your support WILL change lives!
