TWE 377: Treger Strasberg: Turning Houses Into Homes for Families Starting Over

What does it take to turn an empty space into a true home? On this episode of The Women's Eye Podcast, host Stacey Gualandi talks with Treger Strasberg, founder of the nonprofit Humble Design, whose mission is simple yet powerful: design with dignity. Since launching Humble Design in 2009, Treger and her team have helped families transitioning into housing transform empty spaces into welcoming homes filled with comfort, belonging, and hope. What began in her garage has grown into a national nonprofit now operating in five states. To date, Humble Design has furnished more than 4,200 homes, helping over 12,500 individuals, including veterans and survivors of domestic abuse. In this inspiring conversation, Treger shares how one act of compassion can spark lasting change—and why creating a home is about far more than furniture. In this episode, Treger discusses: • How Humble Design began with one family and one small act of kindness • Why dignity and empathy are essential in creating a home • The power of community in helping families start again • Her new initiative, Homes by Humble, expanding affordable housing solutions Treger believes we all have the ability to help. "We don't hold a patent on helping people."
