Andrae Bailey is founder and president of Change Everything, an organization committed to creating catalytic transformation for society’s most impactful and seemingly unsolvable problems. Working exclusively in the field of social change for the past 20 years, Andrae’s goal has been to help leaders find collaborative and strategic approaches to solving social problems within their spheres of influence. And to this end, he works with elected officials, business executives, and faith leaders to find real solutions to the critical issues they are trying to affect.His work focuses on solving important issues like opioid-related overdose, homelessness, and poverty, bringing together leaders to find solutions that combine compassion with common sense. In 2018, Bailey launched Project Opioid, a business-, faith-, and philanthropic-led collaboration to confront the opioid crisis in communities across Florida. In partnership with the Florida Blue Foundation, Project Opioid has launched five new chapters in Florida this year including Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, West Palm and Ft. Lauderdale. The following Super Advocates serve as the backbone in each region, guiding business and faith leaders through the coalition-building process to prevent overdose and save lives.Andrae is also the founder of Rethinking Homelessness, a national initiative modeled after the work Bailey did for the cause in Central Florida that earned him the title of Orlando Sentinel's Central Floridian of the Year in 2015. Rethinking Homelessness has since debuted among the largest webinar series on homelessness that have reached more than 6,000 elected officials and community leaders around America to date. The organization has partnered with 11 major municipalities in 2021 alone through our guided coaching program on best practice strategies to abet eviction and homelessness.
