2024 Diversity & Inclusion Awards Honoree: Broward Partnership 

The nonprofit organization is the largest comprehensive homeless services provider in Broward County.

Broward Partnership was founded in 1997 as a strategic private/public alliance aimed at addressing the burgeoning problem of homelessness in Broward County. The Partnership has become the largest comprehensive homeless service provider in Broward County, offering street outreach, 500 beds of emergency shelter at the CHAC and NHAC, 168 units of scattered-site permanent housing in Broward County, and a complete array of health and social services. In addition to providing short-term shelter, outreach to the unsheltered homeless population, and stable housing solutions, the Partnership offers a full complement of solution-focused services that include access to case management, nutritious meals, medical and dental care, behavioral health and psychiatric services, substance abuse treatment, individual and group therapy, parenting and family enrichment activities, vocational training, job placement, computer literacy, and life skills classes to help establish self-sufficiency and housing stability. In spring 2023, the Partnership and its development partner Green Mills Group finalized the construction of Seven on Seventh—a 72-unit affordable housing development adjacent to the CHAC that is serving low-income and formerly homeless individuals and families. By providing affordable housing for families in need, Seven on Seventh and its supportive services have a wide socioeconomic impact on the local community.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
