    Nonprofits: How an Emmy Award-Winner is Reducing Recidivism and Increasing Section 8 Housing

    Cat Greenleaf, a former NBC host and four-time Emmy Award winner, shares her journey into starting a nonprofit called the Restorative Housing Organization, aimed at reducing recidivism rates and increasing housing opportunities for Section 8 tenants. She also discusses the intersection of business and parenting, the challenges of balancing a career with family life, and the importance of understanding the complexities of substance abuse and incarceration. Cat shares what it was like to go from having a successful television career to founding a nonprofit aimed at providing housing and job training for formerly incarcerated individuals. The conversation also touches on the stigma surrounding Section 8 housing and the hiring practices within the nonprofit sector. This episode is brought to you in collaboration with Podcasthon, the biggest charity Event in Podcasting world! There's no money involved—it’s all about raising awareness for various charitable causes. ❤️ More About Cat Greenleaf Cat created and hosted NBC’s long-running series Talk Stoop—the celebrity interview show filmed on her Brooklyn front steps. Yep, the one with the bulldog that dominated NYC TaxiTV and USA Daytime in the 20teens. Over nine years, she hosted hundreds of guests, racked up four Emmys, launched countless adventures—and had so much fun. Then she got fired. No fun. After losing her job, she thought she’d never to go back to journalism. With no other marketable skills and no idea what to do next, she entered an epic dark night of the soul.  Looking for light, her family moved to the beach in Coney Island. There, Cat got serious about her own sobriety and began bringing recovery meetings to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and men. That work inspired her to found the nonprofit Restorative Housing Organization. RHO is dedicated to training formerly incarcerated men and women to renovate undervalued NYC waterfront properties, which are then rented to Section 8 tenants.
