women helping women build a strong foundation Women Build Habitat homeownership creates strength, stability, and independence through shelter for families in our community. Our annual Women Build brings together friends and colleagues from across our community to raise funds, walls, and awareness - creating an affordable homeownership opportunity for a family in Greater Cincinnati. Happening May 2026 Women empowering women through homeownership. We know that, together, women have the power to transform lives. Over the span of a month, groups of women will join together to raise funds, walls, and awareness to help a single mother achieve her dream of homeownership. We need your help. Get involved. Contact Ashton Wilson ashton.wilson@habitatcincinnati.org , 513-482-5612 for more information. Get Involved Why Women? Women in our community are disproportionately impacted by the rising cost of housing. Women and children are more likely to be affected by poor living conditions than men. Women also face more barriers to stable housing than men in similar economic situations. Men earn more on average than women, resulting in access to higher credit, better loans and better quality homes and neighborhoods. Unequal caregiving responsibilities limit a woman’s ability to dedicate the necessary time to obtaining and maintaining consistent employment and decent housing. Single women are denied mortgages at higher rates than single men, despite the fact women are more reliable at paying back mortgages. How Women Build Helps Through Women Build you can make access to affordable homeownership possible for local families in need. Last year, the majority of the families served through Habitat Greater Cincinnati's homeownership program were single mothers who had been living in unaffordable or overcrowded housing. Together with your support, we can help women in our community build strength, stability and self-reliance by becoming first-time homebuyers. Habitat homeowners help build their homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. That mortgage won’t exceed 30% of a family's income, widely recognized as the threshold for affordable housing, making it easier to afford nutritious food, pay for necessary medical care, and save for the future. Together we will empower women, empower families, and empower communities. Learn More Meet the homebuyer family. Meet LaShawntay (Tay) -- a hardworking woman investing in her future through homeownership. She is so excited to finally have her own private space that she hopes to eventually fill with children. Tay watched her mother work incredibly hard to buy a home for their family and is happy to continue the legacy of homeownership in her family. Why Habitat? Habitat builds and renovates decent, affordable houses for people who make between 30%-80% of the area's median income. All partner homebuyers must demonstrate a reliable source of income as well as invest at least 200 hours of sweat equity in their home and in education classes. Houses are sold at no profit with a 0% interest, 30-year loan. The homeowner's mortgage payments are reinvested to build more Habitat homes.        Affordable housing solutions help local families in need provide a stable, sustainable environment to build a better future:   Children of homeowners are 25% more likely to graduate from high school, 116% more likely to graduate from college, and will earn 24% higher incomes.   Homeowners are 28% more likely to vote in local elections and engage in civic, school, and community groups . Homeowners are 34% more likely to have a retirement account. Affordable housing (less than 30% of income) frees up family resources for other important expenses like nutritious food, job training, and healthcare expenditures . No expereince necessary. Any woman who wants to learn how to build a home is invited to join. No experience is necessary. Volunteers work under the guidance of construction professionals, alongside other volunteers and future Habitat homeowners. Whether you are learning new skills or simply adding a few to your tool belt, this is a rewarding experience for all involved, and it improves the community that you share.

On top of that, the space is simply too small for her growing family. Taleah and her four children, ages 9 months to 7 years, currently share a two-bedroom apartment.

Back to the Top Important Program Dates See All Events Sunday, May 10, 2026 - Friday, May 29, 2026 Clarence Place: Oxford Apply Details Saturday, May 9, 2026 Clarence Place: Oxford, OH Info Session 11:00 AM Faith Lutheran Church, 420 S Campus Ave, Oxford, OH 45056 Details Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions How long does the process take? Building and buying a home with HFHGC is not a quick process. From approval to purchase of your home can take anywhere from six to eighteen months. However, once Habitat receives your initial application, you will be contacted by mail within 30 days and notified either: Application is complete, you meet our ability to pay and general requirements and we are ready to schedule a home interview to assess your need for housing and willingness to partner and complete the application process to determine if you are eligible. Your application is incomplete and a list of required documents will be provided. Your application has been reviewed and denied. The notice of adverse action will list the reason(s) that your application was denied. How is income calculated? Income is calculated using the total household’s gross monthly income, considering everyone over the age of 18 in the household when we determine if the total household is within the minimum and maximum range of income allowed. However only the income of the applicant(s) will be used to determine if the ability to pay requirements are met to qualify for a Habitat mortgage. Income is counted from sources such as employment wages, child support, alimony, Social Security Survival benefits, SSDI, & SSI. Unearned income for minors such as child support and SSI, etc. is typically not counted for children over age 15. Households whose monthly income is not within the income qualification range will not qualify or where the applicant (s) are not meeting income requirements, will not qualify. Is there a down payment required? No. But, homebuyers are required to pay up to $1,000.00 towards the first year’s premium for homeowner’s insurance prior to purchasing home. What is sweat equity? Sweat equity is the cornerstone of Habitat and the strategy used to empower our homebuyers that sets us apart from other affordable housing providers. Habitat is not a “hand-out,” but a “hand-up.” A home is not being built for you or given to our homebuyers. Each Habitat homebuyer builds their home side by side with volunteers and then purchases the home when complete. Nothing is given away but opportunity. Habitat uses the term “sweat equity” to refer to the hours of labor our homebuyers dedicate to building their homes, and the homes of their neighbors, as well as attending homeownership classes and Habitat events. HFHGC homebuyers begin their sweat equity after being accepted into the program, earning a minimum of 8 hours of sweat equity per month until their home begins construction. Once a home begins construction, homebuyers are required to work each Saturday side by side with the volunteers building their home. Sweat equity reduces the amount of paid labor needed for a house, which in turn helps reduce cost. Additionally, time spent building your own home can instill a sense of pride and ownership, teaching you the basic building and house-maintenance skills that are necessary for successful homeownership. Note: A single applicant will need to earn a minimum of 200 hours of sweat equity, while two applicant households will earn a minimum of 300 hours. How much is the monthly mortgage payment? Monthly mortgage payments vary but will never be more than 30% of a homebuyer’s monthly income. Monthly mortgage payments include an escrow payment for homeowners' insurance and taxes. Do you have a waiting list? No, we do not keep a waiting list. Applications are only accepted when build sites are available, please continue to check our website the 10th of each month to confirm if we are accepting applications. Can I reapply if I am denied? Absolutely! If you are denied for our program, the reason(s) for denial will be listed. This provides you with the opportunity to correct any issues and resubmit another application. We can help these applicants with strategies to improve their financial situation, refer them to other agencies that may be able to assist and encourage them to apply to the program again. Some of our homeowners were denied the first, second and even third time they applied due to outstanding collections and debts, income that was below our limits or other issues. They successfully improved their eligibility, reapplied and were accepted into the program. If you need help finding community resources, our staff can refer you to tools and resources available to help you improve your situation. Do I need to be employed? No, but you must have a steady income for at least the prior year that does meet our income guidelines. Qualifying income may include, but is not limited to child support, alimony, SSA, SSI, retirement and income from your employment. What is the U.S. Citizenship requirement? All applicants must be U.S. Citizens or Legal Permanent Residents. Copies are required of two (2) of the following documents for each applicant and co-applicant: driver’s license, Permanent Resident Card (Green Card), Social Security Card, state photo ID, passport. Can only families with children apply? No. Individuals and families qualify for a Habitat home by needing adequate, affordable housing, ability to pay their mortgage in addition to other monthly expenses and have a willingness to partner with Habitat to build their home and support the Habitat mission. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati does not discriminate against race, color, religion, sex, familial status or national origin. Can I apply as a single applicant if I am still legally married? Married applicants can apply individually, but spouse must be listed on application as member of household, provide all income and asset information, consent to a background check and agree to sign a release of dower at time of home purchase. The spouse, who is not an applicant, will not have their income or debts counted when determining if the applicant meets the ability to pay criteria, but their income and assets will be considered to determine if the household income is within Habitat’s guidelines. Can I qualify if I have had a foreclosure? It must be three years from date of foreclosure. Can I qualify if I have had an eviction? It must be one year from the date of the completed eviction. How can I find out what is on my credit report? You are able to access a free credit report once a year from each of the three reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. To obtain a copy of your free credit report, go to the website www.annualcreditreport.com . What if my credit report shows outstanding collections, debt, bankruptcies, judgments or liens? Your credit history is a good indicator of your ability to meet your financial obligations and therefore Habitat takes credit reports into account when determining an applicant’s eligibility. We do not use credit scores in our assessment of eligibility; however, we evaluate whether you are timely in paying debts. We carefully review your credit report to see if there are collections, open judgments, or recent bankruptcies/foreclosures. Bankruptcies and/or foreclosures must have been discharged for 3 years before applying. Lastly, an applicant’s debt-to-income ratio (DTI) may not exceed 40%. We will not consider an applicant(s) who has over $2,000 in uncollected, past-due debt. We do require applicants with negative credit accounts (as long as they total under $2,000) to have payment plans in place. We are unable to partner with applicants who have open unpaid judgments or liens.

every volunteer Individual Volunteers Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes, races and beliefs, professions and skills. One things that all Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati volunteers have in common: they are critically important to furthering the organization's mission in our community. Through construction, retail, repair, and more, volunteers help Habitat Greater Cincinnati impact hundreds of families each year. You can learn more about the different volunteer opportunities below! Individual Volunteers Community Volunteers Corporate Volunteers Habitat Young Professionals Global Village Trips Volunteering Overview Individual volunteers sign up for opportunities through our volunteer hub, called Volunteer Hub. Here you will find all of our available shifts, fill out your liability waiver, sign in each day, and track your hours. Setting up your account is easy! Just sign up below, and please be sure to sign your liability waiver before showing up for your first shift. For questions or concerns, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at Volunteer@HabitatCincinnati.org or (513) 587-1096. If you're looking to volunteer with a group, we'd love to have you! Please visit our Group Volunteering page to sign up so that we can ensure we find you an opportunity that can accommodate more than one person. New? Start Here Volunteer Hub (volunteer opportunities) Faith-Based Partnerships Construction Volunteering on our construction sites is a great way to get directly involved with the mission! Volunteers work alongside our highly trained construction team and partner families on a variety of homebuilding projects. We provide all the training and tools you'll need for the job! Tasks can vary widely depending on the different stages of our builds. A typical construction shift is from 8:30am to 4pm and you will be able to sign up by the location. Sign up ReStore Our ReStores sell donated new and used appliances, furniture, cabinets, building products, and households items. Volunteering in the ReStores include accepting donations, cleaning items, and helping customers. Because of our many locations, there are always ReStore opportunities available and it's a great way for younger volunteers to get involved! There are morning and afternoon shifts and we have locations in Bellevue and Florence in Kentucky; and Cheviot, Bond Hill, Fairfield, and Loveland in Ohio. Sign up Rock the Block Rock the Block is a one day event that brings hundreds of volunteers to partner neighborhoods to support the beautification and repair goals of the community. It takes place twice a year, once in the Spring and again in the Fall! See the latest information by visiting our Rock the Block page. Sign up Deconstruction Sometimes local businesses wish to donate large amounts of office furniture and goods to our ReStores and we need help getting those items! Deconstruction volunteers help us get those items from inside the building and loaded into our trucks. No tools or experience are required, simply a willingness to help and the ability to lift these furniture items or to push carts to and from the elevators are needed! These shifts are only available if we have a deconstruction opportunity, and they vary depending on the needs of the team and location.
