Paige Allmendinger

Chief Product Officer | LinkedIn

"Given the right resources, agencies that don't typically offer shelter can become effective housing providers, and deliver client-centered support in the process."

Paige clears barriers like:

  • 24/7 hotel-placement chaos → Alias-approved, no-ID bookings that happen in minutes, not hours.
  • Grant-compliance headaches → Implementation guidance from years managing VOCA & VAWA funds.

How Paige can help you next week
