Josh Young is the Chief of Staff at New Story - their mission is to pioneer solutions to end global homelessness. New Story is one of the first non-profits to go through Y Combinator and has since built over 3,500 homes in Haiti, El Salvador, and Mexico. In addition, they led the construction of the world's first 3-D printed community and have been featured four times as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies, featured in an Apple TV+ Documentary, and featured on the front of the New York Times.
