WOMEN BUILD DATES: MARCH 19 – 23, 2024 IN THE CITY OF SPOKANE!
Habitat-Spokane’s POPULAR annual fundraising build event is a hands-on opportunity to dig into the home-building process and partner with those working hard in our Homeownership Program. The only skill you need is a desire to help families on their homeownership journey — no experience necessary!
Habitat is excited to announce that we will be hosting you in the City of Spokane this year!
Gender equity isn’t limited to just women: ALL are welcome. Habitat is excited to meet you at the job site to make fundamental contributions to the women in our community as we build one another up and build affordable homes!
Why Women Build?

- 29.5% of single-parent households led by women live below the poverty level in WA State.
- For every dollar White men earn, Latina women earn about $.58, Black women earn about $.63, and White women earn about $.83.
- 50% of Habitat-Spokane families identify as BIPOC.
- The median home resale price in Spokane County nearly doubled from $255,600 in 2019 to $409,900 in 2023.
- Nearly 80% of families approved for Habitat’s Homeownership Program are working 2 jobs just to make ends meet.
