A school project turned investor-backed Social Impact Real Estate Investment firm, Wilminvest is the story of your traditional fixer-upper meeting social innovation. Our model transforms vacant properties into homes for families in need. Utilizing the core principles of public-private partnerships and collective impact, we partner with private investors, commercial banks, and CDFIs to acquire and renovate vacant properties in distressed areas. Government and non-profit housing organizations partner with us to place families in unstable housing situations supported by subsidies into our homes. We then align our property management infrastructure with the social work and case management provided by partner housing organizations. This streamlined communication between the social service provider and the landlord has resulted in outcomes much higher than traditional housing programs. To date, we've housed over thirty families out of families and motels, 95% of whom have transitioned into long-term housing. As president & co-founder, I played a pivotal role in creating the foundations of the company (fundraising, storytelling, investor relations, etc) but more importantly, through trial and error, created the complex systems and processes needed to not only run a traditional real estate/management company but to also properly serve the families living in our homes. I've worked side-by-side with case managers, housing directors, CDFI lenders, and community leaders to ensure our experimental housing model was repeatable and scalable for Wilminvest as an organization, but also to ensure it fits the overall vision for local housing and community development efforts. We've identified a tenant-centric continuum of housing that spans all the way from experiencing homelessness to achieving home ownership. We're building a Social Impact Real Estate Company that specializes in programs in this continuum to improve outcomes for families and our community.

Red Clay Consolidated School District

As a sixteen year old representing my school at Delaware's Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar conference, I realized there was a gap between the students at our states various schools. It wasn't normal for students from different schools to work together on ideas and at the same time interscholastic prejudice was seen as real and accepted amongst students, parents and even faculty. I immediately founded this organization to tackle this issue. Within a matter of months, I had a team of fourteen student representatives (one junior and one senior from each school) from my district, the Red Clay School District. The organization was gaining more and more traction as we planned talent shows, service projects and even an interscholastic dance in the effort to bring schools together and eliminate prejudice. By the end of 2013, we had 30 students involved representing schools and students on seven different district committees.
