2026 Women Build  image

Our 2026 Women Build is all about opening doors, literally and figuratively, for women-led households across Dutchess and Putnam Counties! This year, we will focus on accessibility and safety, with women-led teams delivering essential repairs and improvements that allow individuals and families to live independently, age with dignity, and remain rooted in their communities.
