Welcome back to Resilience with Dawn Olivia, where we share stories that inspire, empower, and remind us of the strength within us to rise above life’s hardest challenges.

In today’s episode, “Abuse No More, Time to Thrive!”, we’re joined by a powerful voice for change—Jenna Ghisolfo, President and CEO of Housing Consultants of America. Jenna is not only a national speaker, consultant, and trainer in the affordable housing industry—she is a survivor. Having once relied on Section 8 housing herself to escape an abusive relationship and rebuild her life, Jenna knows firsthand the power of safe and stable housing to create new beginnings.

With more than 18 years of experience, Jenna has dedicated her career to helping individuals and families transition from homelessness and hardship into security and dignity. Through her work, she partners with nonprofits, developers, and communities across the nation to provide sustainable housing solutions that truly transform lives.

Her story is one of resilience, determination, and faith—a journey from pain to purpose. Today, Jenna shares how she broke free from abuse, rebuilt her life, and now uses her platform to empower thousands of others to do the same.

So lean in, get ready to be encouraged, and join me in welcoming our guest, Jenna Ghisolfo, to Resilience with Dawn Olivia!
