Thank you for the huge success of Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build 2024!
March 1st was AIACV and SRBX’s team build day. Our hardworking fund-raising team collected $9,145 for the Cornerstone development! The campaign raised more than $160,000. We could not have supported the construction of critically needed affordable housing without your assistance. Sheltered in garages out of the rain, our team of 15 women represented our Design/Build community not only with your generous donations but also by building several playhouses.
Cornerstone is an 18-home Habitat community with 9 homes still in progress. These homes will be completed by Summer 2024 with the support of Women Build participants.
· 18 single-family, all-electric, EV-ready affordable homeownership opportunities for over 90 individuals.
· Qualified families are those earning 30-80% of annual median income.
· Partnering families put in 500 hours of sweat equity and purchase their home with a 30-year 0% interest-equivalent affordable mortgage.
· 81% of Habitat Homeowners are BIPOC.
Affordable housing is a spectrum, yet affordable homeownership developers are frequently left out of the larger funding opportunities. It is important that all areas of the housing spectrum are equitably supported in order to move underserved individuals into self-reliance, stable shelter, and out of the cycle of poverty.
Help build homes and community by marking your calendars for the March 2025 Women Build and join our team! Feel free to connect with me for more information. (embed her email in “Connect” [email protected])
