Deep dives
Transitioning to a Market-Driven Model
New Story, a nonprofit organization, is transitioning to a market-driven model where families are able to buy their own homes instead of receiving them as gifts. The organization believes that relying solely on philanthropy is insufficient to address the global homelessness crisis. By creating a housing market that is accessible to low-income families, New Story aims to empower them and provide long-term solutions. This shift towards a capitalism-based, profit-driven model allows New Story to have a more sustainable and scalable impact on homelessness.
