Dwellworks 2023 ESG Impact Report

Helping Unhoused Families Find Homes With his expertise in the complex and challenging New York City rental market and his description of himself as a ‘person who likes to help people,’ Elias Marte , an agent in our Station Cities New York real estate brokerage, connects individuals and families in need of affordable housing with landlords and properties. The paperwork and process are complex and time consuming, requiring coordination between tenants, eligible properties, and layers of regulation and review. But Elias persists, helping multiple unsheltered renters find housing each year. Building DEI Roadmaps with Our Corporate Housing Service Partners Andy Horvath , VP, Global Account Management, joined a panel of corporate housing industry peers to discuss ‘Creating a DEI&A Roadmap – Practical Steps for Progress’ at the CHPA annual conference. Andy shares, “Our service partners are broadly diverse in their ownership and want to thrive in support of their customers’ expectations. The starting point for approaching diversity and inclusion was sharing stories of respect, personal experience, and finding your voice and being heard. As a result of these industry education efforts, we have hundreds of partners committed to building more inclusive and customer-aligned teams and experiences.” Accessibility Updates on Our Website

Laura Ziemianski , Director of Marketing, explains, “The new website is a truly elevated experience for our clients, guests, and property searches, and incorporates WCAG 2.1 for device compatibility, color, navigation, titling, and more. It’s one more proof point that Dwellworks’ actions support our commitments to diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and accessibility.”
