In this episode of the REB Business Empowerment Showcase, REB deputy editor Emilie Lauer sits down with A Home for All chair and LJ Hooker CEO Christine Mikhael and committee member Natalie Hortz to discuss how the industry is coming together to address the nation's homelessness crisis.
Mikhael and Hortz discuss the foundation's rapid progress, raising over $1 million in just two months, and highlight the often-overlooked realities of hidden homelessness, including couch surfing, living in cars, or moving between temporary accommodations.
The conversation also delves into domestic and family violence as a key driver of homelessness, and how the foundation is carefully directing resources to make the most difference for women and children in need.
The episode closes with a call to action for real estate professionals and beyond, exploring ways to get involved from fundraising and volunteering to immersive awareness events like "A Night Without Home".

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
