This month on Finding Reverie: An Entrepreneur’s Journey, we’re highlighting Episode 14, featuring a conversation with Kim Hannay, Founder and Executive Director of Digs with Dignity - a Chicago nonprofit transforming houses into homes for families who were previously unhoused.
Since its founding in 2019, Digs With Dignity has served more than 300 families by collecting donated furniture and home goods and using them to thoughtfully design and furnish each family’s new home. But what makes their approach so special is the personal touch. Before designing a space, the Digs team gets to know each family - their style, their needs, their must-haves, and even their would-love-to-haves. The result isn’t simply a furnished space; it’s a home created specifically for them.
And that sense of home can be transformative. An incredible 97% of the families served by Digs With Dignity have remained housed, and many have gone on to earn promotions, pursue personal goals, and build greater stability in their lives.
Digs With Dignity is an extraordinary example of what can happen when thoughtful design, community, and compassion come together. Hear Kim share the story behind the organization, the impact they’re making across Chicago, and the journey that brought it all to life in Episode 14 of Finding Reverie.
