I have called Broward County my home for the last 25 years, fulfilling a personal mission to leave it better than I found it. I am now part of your community as the new chief executive officer of The Lord’s Place and re-pledge the same mission–I hope to make Palm Beach County better than today.
You may ask how Palm Beach County could get any better when West Palm Beach is ranked fourth in Henley & Partners’ list of “World’s Fastest Growing Wealth Hubs”. While West Palm Beach and Palm Beach experienced a 112% increase in millionaires between 2014 and 2024, the number of individuals experiencing homelessness in Palm Beach County increased by 33% during that same time period. I envision a better Palm Beach County where everyone, regardless of wealth, has access to affordable, safe, and stable housing. Increased wealth should not equate to increased homelessness.
With two months under my belt working at our county’s leading homeless service agency, it’s evident that in every facet of The Lord’s Place programming, there is a pathway to hope with no dead-end at any point.
