Several years ago, Founder and Chief Exit Strategist, Staci Sweet, was homeless. Ordinarily that would seem strange, but for her, it was the norm. She's lived with family, friends, friends of family, rented rooms in strangers houses, lived in her car, and at the Salvation Army. But after several years of government assistance, being underemployed, unemployable, and battling bouts of mental illness, she finally discovered the root causes of her financial and mental instability and that discovery that has now morphed into a strategy, book and online course that will prove invaluable to your organization.

​Before becoming our Chief Exit Strategist, Staci worked in collections; both as a front-end collector and eventually as a Collections Manager. Apart of her responsibility included managing, monitoring, and evaluating the performance of some 50+ direct reports. Because of that experience, she understands how financial situations can change overnight. I understand how quickly someone can go from being able to afford a $350+ auto payment to catching the bus. Because she has mortgage banking experience, she also understands how someone can go from paying a mortgage payment to living in a shelter. How does she know? Because almost overnight she went from being a mid-level manager to $319 a week in unemployment and thereafter ending up homeless. That experience, combined with the years she battled homelessness led her to write The Do-It-Yourself Guide Out of Homelessness, in addition to founding Sweet Consultants where she provides faith-based homeless solutions for nonprofits and faith-based organizations.
