After the unimaginable heartbreak of losing a son to a drunk driving accident, Chris Occhipinti, the visionary founder of Homeless to Home Ownership, transformed his grief into a mission to help others find stability and purpose.
Join us as Chris shares his turning point from this personal tragedy to pioneering a nonprofit that has helped tens of thousands of individuals, including addicts, ex-felons, and veterans, achieve self-sufficiency through a comprehensive rehab and empowerment program.
The program doesn't stop at sobriety; it's unique approach goes further - blending elements of the 12-step system with practical support like job training, credit repair, and legal assistance, culminating in the ultimate goal of homeownership.
We take a critical look at the systemic issues surrounding homelessness and addiction, raising questions about whether current systems might actually perpetuate the very issues they aim to solve. Chris challenges societal attitudes and underscores the power of self-belief and personal responsibility in overcoming life’s hurdles.
Our conversation was a deep dive into the intersection of real estate, social impact, and personal transformation - sparking an essential dialogue about real estate and economic factors that are deeply entwined with these social issues.
