Miami Homes For All

Annie Lord

Today we bring you Annie Lord, executive director of Miami Homes For All. The mission of this nonprofit is to end homelessness in South Florida through policy research, advocacy and other initiatives for collective impact. Armed with the best research available, Miami Homes For All collaborates with people across the entire spectrum of their community to identify the best ideas in order to turn visions of a stable and safe Miami into reality.

Miami is the third least affordable city in the country due to a relatively high-priced housing market, and comparatively lower wages. Miami Homes For All works with youth homelessness, adult homelessness, affordable housing, and grant-making to help bridge this economic gap. A huge part of Miami’s workforce is in the hospitality and healthcare industry. Unfortunately, those average wages are less than $15 an hour, making the divide even larger for employed people who are helping to fuel the economy. Consequently, the citizens are cost-burdened and forced to make impossible choices between rent, childcare, their education, medications, and even food.

Miami Homes For All believes everyone deserves a place to call home. Miami-Dade County needs at least 130,000 more homes to meet its housing gap. The good news, we can help support their mission and help get people off the streets, to a place they deserve.

Episode 16 - Fine Print Funding

Fine Print Funding

Chantal and Justin Crompton

Today we bring you Chantal and Justin Crompton, founders of Fine Print Funding out of San Diego, California. This nonprofit creates financial equity in the college application process. More low-income high school students are graduating than ever before, but rates of low-income students making the leap to college have stayed stagnant. The data is clear: there’s an opportunity gap. Low-income students are getting lost in the fine print of the college-going process.

Chantal is an English teacher who witnessed first-hand the hardships that low-income students faced when it came time to apply for colleges and take their AP exams. Many of her students lacked the financial resources required to apply to college. She created a “pipeline of hope” for her students by creating a Go Fund Me to raise enough money for 60 seniors to apply to all of the colleges that they worked so hard for. She and her husband then created the Fine Print Funding nonprofit in order to continue to send more students to college and shift expectations in the community for academic success.

In order to help Fine Print Funding send more underserved students to the college they deserve follow them on social media, share their story and make a donation that can change the lives of many! By getting involved and sharing why this cause is so important, you will give more hard-working students the opportunity to achieve and succeed.

Episode 18 - Clean Cruiser Project

Clean Cruiser Project

Steven Ploog

Today we bring you Steven Ploog, co-founder of the Clean Cruiser Project. This nonprofit began with two rusty Land Cruisers, a couple of beers and a dream to embark on a 60-day overland expedition from Paso Robles, California to Panama. Steve and his co-founder, Nathan Stewart, completed their trip carbon neutral, with the mission to encourage individual carbon footprint reduction and promote conservation efforts.

In order to offset the carbon emission from their trip, they calculated they would have to plant 200 trees. Taking it a bit further, the Clean Cruiser Team planted over 600 trees to offset the carbon emissions produced by their 2019 expedition through Central America. The co-founders partnered with multiple reforestation sites to showcase the different ways to utilize the forest as a carbon sequestration method. Their journey caught the eyes of many supporters, and the founders have partnered with Outside Magazine to produce an upcoming eco-adventure series.

The Clean Cruiser Project is focused on creating a more sustainable future through reducing carbon footprints, offsetting carbon emissions and utilizing biodiesel. Their story is an inspiring reminder to follow your dreams and get involved! The Clean Cruiser Project urges you to start using biofuels, biodiesel and support reforestation efforts to give back to our precious planet.
