The Women Build construction event may be over – but you can still donate to Women Build to honor a WONDERFUL WOMAN in your life who inspires you to support affordable homeownership in our community!

Why Women Build?

Join Habitat for Humanity to bring awareness to the inequities women face, particularly in housing:

  • 60% of Habitat-Spokane families are led by single mothers.
  • 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.

      It’s time to break down barriers and help women become homeowners regardless of the inequities they face!

      Habitat builds affordable homes for families and individuals to BUY. They take out a mortgage at an interest rate they can afford, pay an affordable monthly payment, and become homeOWNERS. Please join us to raise CRITICAL funds and build homes to further Habitat-Spokane’s mission and create a more equitable community!
