A career spent trying to end homelessness is like your first heartbreak, but set on slo-motion. I remain an advocate for the underdog because I am a survivor of many things that shall never be discussed, but are felt daily. At OrgCode we want to see each person that experiences homelessness have somewhere to live, something to do, and someone to love.
My team and I help leaders, organizations and communities achieve more than they thought possible in the pursuit of preventing and reducing homelessness. The purpose of this channel is to share some of that knowledge, as well as provide commentary and insights on homelessness and solutions.

I've launched a Substack!
It’s a real and sometimes raw dive into the work of responding to homelessness and housing security. If you are interested in honest conversations about homelessness, leadership, systems, and the uncomfortable work of actually making things better, this is for you.

I did a Ted Talk!
Talked about how permanent housing with professional wrap-around supports is the only known cure to chronic homelessness, combatting myths and misconceptions along the way. The event focused on freedom, I argued that chronic homelessness is not the peak of freedom and that the only thing holding us back is not implementing the known solution.
How did I do?
