Episode Description
Many of our local communities are experiencing a growing housing crisis. Brittany Katalenas, a social worker turned social entrepreneur, founded B-Konnected to help landlords by helping their residents. B-Konnected develops and uses technology built by social workers and those with lived experience to identify potential trouble spots and help residents access resources before a problem turns into a crisis. Across more than 3,500 housing units, they have reduced evictions by 90% - providing owners and property managers with the tools to lower costs and boost their financial performance, all while helping low-income individuals and families stabilize their lives and build a healthy home.
