Girls play house, women build them.
Women Build brings together strong, dedicated women (and some men) to be a force for good in our community. It’s a unique time for powerful women to connect and do what we do well – solve problems. Start a Women Build team with friends and colleagues or ask about joining an existing team. Together, you’ll raise funds to help a local family realize its dream of an affordable home. Then, swing a hammer alongside one of our families on your dedicated team build day.
Each team raising $4,000 or more receives a dedicated team build day.
years of Women Build
Many Habitat Future Homebuyers are single female heads of household, working full-time jobs but unable to afford a home of their own for their family. Some are teachers, police officers and health care workers. All contribute to making our community stronger.

Calesha Flores breaks a generational curse…
The nomadic lifestyle of growing up with parents in the military, and no real sense of “home,” seems to have followed Calesha into adulthood as a mom of two daughters.
After a job transfer from Ohio to Tampa, she got hurt and had to depend on a short-term disability of
half her income until she could work again. Then, her rent DOUBLED, and she didn’t know what to do.
Devora Slaughter… It’s a family affair!
“Mom, when are we going to stop moving?” asks Devora’s 12 year-old son. “We’re moving every year!”
Devora has tried to explain to her three children that she can only rent where she can afford. Unfortunately, those places have been full of mold and even bats! Trying to escape those unhealthy environments, as well as the rising rents, has led to constant moves. She has not escaped, though.
