Colorado, there are a lot of transplants in Colorado. And we don't have that family history that we have that dreamy thoughtfulness of when we think back 50 years of, yes, we're all going to support each other. There are a lot of folks out there that are on their own or have very little supports.

Lee's journey from a sales rep at Hershey Chocolate to leading a nonprofit dedicated to affordable housing is a story of transformation and purpose.
