Sterling Brown sits down with Amy Krulik, Executive Director of hope+door, an organization that prevents eviction by stepping in at the most vulnerable moments—when a medical crisis, job loss, or unexpected expense threatens a family’s home.Amy draws on 25+ years in social services (including leading a Philadelphia hunger-relief agency) and breaks down:Why early intervention matters—and how asking for help is a strength, not a failure.How hope+door centers families with school-age children to prevent educational setbacks and break intergenerational cycles of eviction.The application process (simple, compassionate, and landlord-verified) and why most approvals wrap in about a week.What happens if you don’t qualify: customized resource lists (down to local congregations and legal aid) so “no” becomes “here’s the next step.”The bigger picture: costs of eviction, the rental “ecosystem,” and why community awareness can stop a crisis before it starts.Sterling also shares his own experience: when he couldn’t work during rehabilitation, hope+door helped stabilize his family—and restore dignity.Need help or want to support?Website: hopeanddoor.orgEmail: [email protected]/in/amy-krulik-6982158Facebook/ Instagram:  @hopeanddoor Phone: 484-320-3277hope+door—small grants, big impact, and a reminder: you’re not alone.Subscribe to the podcast through Spotify, Apple, IHeart or other podcasting channels. Connect with Us on the Web for: s2spodcast.net (sms at the bottom of our page for real time reply)For topics and podcast information reach us at: [email protected] booking information reach us at: [email protected] sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast your feedback helps us reach more listeners. Thank you for listening to the Struggle2Success Podcast!
