In this informative and inspiring episode, I sat down with Jenna Ghisolfo, Founder and CEO of Housing Consultants of America. At just 17 years old, Jenna found herself trapped in an abusive relationship. With a baby in her arms and nowhere to go, one chance encounter led her to the only path forward at that time, which was through a Section 8 housing voucher. This brave step to leave her relationship allowed Jenna to rebuild her life. She returned to school, earned her degree, and began a career in affordable housing as a way to give back to the community that once gave her a second chance.
Seven years ago, Jenna founded Housing Consultants of America, a national company dedicated to housing individuals experiencing homelessness, veterans, and people with disabilities. Together, we explore real solutions to homelessness, the life-changing impact of housing for the vulnerable, and how advocacy and community can transform lives.
Topics include:
•Recognizing and escaping domestic abuse
•The life-changing impact of affordable housing
•Support and resources for domestic abuse survivors
•Advocacy for affordable housing in the U.S.
•Breaking the stigma around homelessness
•The power of resilience, courage, and community for life transformation
If you need help or know someone that does, please reach out to Jenna's company or share these resources with someone you care about.❤️
