Chief Executive Officer
Rebuilding Together Greater Florida
For more than 25 years, José García has dedicated his career to housing and disaster recovery. As CEO of Rebuilding Together Greater Florida, he has transformed a grassroots nonprofit into a $13 million organization with five regional offices serving communities statewide.
He was named a 2024 Time Magazine Dreamer of the Year, a national recognition of the organization’s role in helping families rebuild after disasters. “It’s not just about homes, it’s about restoring dreams,” he says.
Starting with no staff or budget, García built the organization from scratch through grit, partnerships and vision. Today, he’s a sought-after speaker on resilience and community development, committed to scaling impact, mentoring future leaders and ensuring no family is left behind after a crisis.
