Who she is.

Stephanie is a survivor. Previously homeless following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, she struggled greatly and was housing insecure for a decade. Because of her lived experience, she understands what many of her neighbors in District 3 are facing.

A majority of Clevelanders (59%) live in renter occupied housing. Stephanie seeks to promote homeownership throughout the county.

In 2023 she received a $10,000 personal grant for housing and has since turned that into $661,000 worth of real property where she houses our neighbors and serves the community.

Over the last two and a half years, this includes permanently housing 65 individuals, helping to stimulate the economy of Westown and making our neighborhood safer.
