A new tool can change how housing operates. But does it make someone’s life better?
In this Women of Impact episode sponsored by the Multifamily Impact Council, Janine Steiner Jovanovic, CEO of LeaseLock, and Angela Bruno, CFO of Mercy Housing, join Angie Truitt and Rachel Mavrothalasitis for a thoughtful conversation about turning new ideas into meaningful outcomes.
Janine explores the financial pressures renters face and why rethinking security deposits can help protect both household finances and property health. Angela shares how she approaches financial sustainability as part of Mercy Housing’s promise to the people it serves, with every budget decision carrying a human consequence.
Together, they discuss preserving existing housing, questioning what technology actually delivers, and making sure the pursuit of efficiency improves the experience of residents and staff.
Their people-first approach extends to leadership, too. They share stories of encouragement that changed their careers, friendships that became family, and the responsibility to create opportunities for others.
An honest, engaging conversation about the work it takes to turn innovation into impact, and the people who make that work matter.
