HARTFORD, May 12, 2021 - Throughout this month, Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity will host Women Build in Greater Hartford. Women Build encourages women nationwide to devote at least one day to help build decent and affordable housing in their local communities. Women have the strength and determination necessary to build Habitat houses, addressing the problem of affordable housing in a concrete way so that families can achieve stability and independence through safe, decent, and affordable homes. This year teams will help build and rehab three homes in Hartford and East Hartford with over 250 women. To date, Hartford Habitat has served more than 300 families through their homeownership programs that include new construction, rehabs and repairs.

In addition, Karraine Moody, CEO of Hartford Habitat is a member of the Town & County Club and has served on our community relations committee. Town and County is proud to support Women Build and Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity as it resonates well with the Town & County as a private women’s club that seeks to empower and encourage women to be successful.

The T&C has two teams participating in the May 13 and May 27 events and raised funds to support the construction of these homes.

According to club President, Susan Barnes, “T&C members embrace the club’s legacy of supporting causes affecting women’s rights and equality. Understanding the role of housing security in achieving equality, we are proud to participate in Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build initiative.”
