Habitat kicks-off women build week

Women Build Week kicked off in Buffalo on Tuesday, with two groups of women, helping build homes.

The organization say its building these new homes to give moms safe places to raise their children.

Women Build Week is aimed at highlighting challenges women sometimes face as homeowners.

More than 300 Habitat organizations from across the country are taking part in this initiative.
