Radical in its simplicity.

<p>Beth Silverman is Executive Director of the Lotus Campaign, a nimble nonprofit startup focused on reducing homelessness.<br /> What makes the Lotus Campaign especially interesting is its approach to putting a roof over a homeless family’s head. Instead of building ground up affordable homes, employing a bevy of subsidy financing, the Lotus Campaign is instead focusing on existing Class B apartment buildings, and on building partnership with Landlords. By offering a networked support system to ensure that each tenant succeeds the Lotus Campaign has been able to house 300 families to date. Only 1 has been evicted - a resounding success and a testament to the program.  Even better, each placement has only cost an average of $800.</p> <p>This seems such a small price to pay to put a roof over someone’s head… </p> <p>If you'd like to join me in my quest to rethink real estate, there are two simple things you can do.
