Frequently Asked Questions

Women Build 2025 will kick-off building in late March and continue throughout April. 

No skills are needed to build with us! Contractors and skilled volunteers will be on hand to help guide you.

Our Women Build teams come together to complete the modular home, taking on tasks like installing lighting, painting, and building porches and decks. As your build date approaches, we’ll share more details about the specific project your team will be working on.

Our 2025 Women Build home buyer is Jody Decker, a two-time Powhatan Schools Bus Driver of the Year, a mother of two, a grandmother of four, and a sculptor!

With community partners and donors, we provide affordable home mortgages in Powhatan, where the median home price is $440,000. Habitat offers families mortgages that are manageable, ensuring they can build stability and create a brighter future for generations to come.
