The initiative coordinates websites, local search, paid media and attribution around qualified lead outcomes

NEW YORK, United States — September 17, 2026 — Royal Palm Marketing today launched a local lead accountability initiative that gives small businesses in Ankeny, Des Moines and surrounding Iowa communities a structured way to connect marketing activity with qualified calls, estimate requests, appointments and form submissions.

The initiative combines pipeline assessment, website performance, local search, paid media and lead measurement in a phased service model. It is designed to identify where prospective customers leave the conversion process before a business commits additional resources to specific marketing channels.

Royal Palm Marketing starts by documenting how inquiries reach a business through organic search, local listings, advertising, direct traffic, referrals and social platforms. The assessment also examines how the business defines and records qualified leads and how often those opportunities progress to appointments, jobs or completed sales.

“Local businesses need reporting that connects marketing activity with calls, form submissions, booked work and closed sales,” said Marcus Pitts, owner and founder of Royal Palm Marketing. “This process identifies gaps in visibility, conversion and attribution before resources are assigned to individual channels.”

From Website Visits to Documented Opportunities

Website reviews focus on page speed, mobile usability, service-page structure, contact forms and trust signals such as customer reviews, certifications and service-area information. Recommendations prioritize reducing friction for visitors who want to call, request an estimate or submit an inquiry.

Local search analysis covers business profile completeness, citation consistency, review activity and the alignment of service and location pages with search intent. The review distinguishes high-intent local service queries from broad informational traffic that may not produce inquiries.

For companies using paid search, Royal Palm Marketing evaluates keyword targeting, match types, negative keywords, campaign structure, landing pages and budget allocation. Branded, non-branded and high-intent service searches are assessed separately when applicable, with reporting centered on qualified conversions and cost per lead.

Measurement may incorporate analytics conversions, search-query data, advertising conversions, call tracking, form submissions and customer relationship management source records. When sufficient records exist, reporting can follow an inquiry through an appointment, job or completed sale.

Because the initiative is newly launched, Royal Palm Marketing has not published performance benchmarks or attributed percentage improvements to it. Baseline results and subsequent changes will be documented for each participating business according to its lead definitions, available records and implementation scope.

Phased Implementation for Small Businesses

Initial priorities may include:

• Refreshing an outdated website
• Standardizing business information across directories
• Improving primary service and location pages
• Correcting conversion-tracking configurations
• Running a limited paid search pilot

Implementation order depends on the condition of existing marketing assets, internal capacity, service areas and lead-flow consistency. The model is intended for local service providers facing inconsistent inquiry volume, weak local visibility, low website conversion rates or incomplete attribution.

Royal Palm Marketing is an Ankeny, Iowa-based marketing agency serving businesses in the Des Moines metropolitan area and surrounding communities. The company provides conversion-oriented website design, local search services, paid media management, content support and lead measurement.

Four AI tools will support English practice across 17 branches, with an initial rollout from mid-November 2026 ahead of Academic Year 2027.

SINGAPORE,  September 17, 2026 – Mavis Tutorial Centre, a tuition centre in Singapore, today announced Mavis PRO Ai, an artificial intelligence learning suite for English that will be available at no additional charge to all Mavis students from Academic Year 2027. The initial rollout begins in mid-November 2026 across its 17 branches. Mavis serves more than 12 000 students a year.

The announcement marks 40 years since Mavis was founded in 1986. The suite extends its classroom teaching with opportunities for students to practise independently, receive feedback and revisit areas they find difficult between lessons.

“After forty years, we are still asking how we can teach better and do more for every child,” said Mr Muzammil Peer, Chief Executive Officer of Mavis Tutorial Centre. “With Mavis PRO Ai, a student can practise an oral response on a Tuesday night and receive feedback that evening. We want to make that support part of the Mavis learning experience, at no additional cost to families.”

Four Tools for English Practice

Mavis PRO Ai brings together four tools designed to support different aspects of English learning.

• Oral AI Companion. Students practise a two-way conversation with an AI examiner, which asks follow-up questions based on their responses and provides an indicative grade and feedback.
• Compo AI Coach. Students upload a composition for an indicative grade and feedback on content, language and structure. Mavis teachers can review and override the AI-generated feedback where needed.
• Listening AI. Students practise listening comprehension through exercises designed around examination formats, helping them become familiar with listening tasks and question types.
• Predictive AI Assessment. Primary students complete quizzes that help identify knowledge gaps and guide revision towards topics requiring more attention.

Together, the tools support practice across the four PSLE English papers, covering writing, language use and comprehension, listening comprehension and oral communication. The oral, composition and listening tools support both primary and secondary students. Predictive Ai Assessment is available for primary students.

Teacher Guidance Remains Central

The suite is designed to complement classroom teaching at the tuition centre. Teachers can use students’ practice responses and feedback to identify areas for further explanation in class. For compositions, they can review the AI’s suggestions and apply their professional judgement. This gives students opportunities to discuss feedback and understand how to improve their work.

“For a child who feels nervous about speaking, having somewhere to practise at their own pace can make a difference,” said Ms Hung Hui Yi, Primary Division Director. “Our aim is to help students build the confidence to express their own ideas. We want them to bring questions back to their teachers and use the feedback to keep improving.”

Preparing for the SEC in 2027

The rollout also comes ahead of the first Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate examinations in 2027, which will replace the GCE O-Level and N-Level examinations. Mavis will draw on its experience in secondary English teaching to support students preparing for the new certificate, with attention to writing, spoken communication and listening skills.

“As students prepare for the SEC, we want them to understand how to improve their work,” said Mr Alex Lim, Secondary Division Director. “Feedback from Compo Ai Coach gives them something specific to question and discuss with their teachers. Those conversations can help students make more thoughtful choices in their writing.”

Further Development

Mavis PRO AI launches with English. A Chinese AI suite is in development, with other subjects planned. Mavis is continuing to invest in teacher training alongside the technology.

Parents can contact their Mavis branch or visit www.mavistutorial.com/contact-us/ to enquire about Mavis PRO AI and the rollout.

About Mavis Tutorial Centre

Founded in Singapore in 1986, Mavis Tutorial Centre operates 17 branches, employs more than 200 staff and serves more than 12 000 students a year. In its 40th year, Mavis continues to combine classroom teaching, educator expertise and technology to support students’ learning.

SHENZHEN, China – 17th September 2026 – Wondershare today announced an expanded Camera video recovery workflow in Recoverit for Windows and Mac. Available September 14, the update is designed to help users locate scanned footage by entering remembered details, including scenes, camera angles, or spoken lines, when filenames are unknown.

The capability operates within the recovery software’s existing desktop process for scanning camera memory cards, previewing detected clips, and restoring selected files to separate storage.

“Creators often remember what happened in a missing clip but not the filename assigned by the camera,” said Tianyu W of Wondershare. “This update is designed to connect those remembered details with scan results while preserving the established process of previewing files and restoring them to separate storage.”

Recoverit is camera data recovery software for cards and drives connected to Windows and Mac computers. The new capability is available through its SD Card Recovery path and is not intended to recover data directly from phones.

Users can search scan results with remembered visual or spoken details, preview detected videos, and select files for restoration. Results depend on the data that remains readable on the source card. Wondershare has not published independent benchmarks, accuracy figures, or recovery-rate data for the search capability.

To limit the risk of overwriting remaining data, users should stop recording to an affected card after discovering that footage is deleted or inaccessible. Restored files should be saved to another storage device rather than the source card.

Additional information is available on the Recoverit website.

About Wondershare

Wondershare develops digital creativity, productivity, and utility applications. Founded in 2003, the company provides software for video creation, document management, and data recovery. Recoverit is Wondershare’s application for restoring deleted, lost, or inaccessible files from computers and storage devices.

Ten years after launching, the 100% veteran-owned brand is making its largest operational investment yet to accelerate fulfillment and support continued nationwide growth.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. – 17th September 2026 – Combat Iron Apparel is marking its tenth year in business with the acquisition of its third warehouse in North Georgia, a major investment designed to expand inventory capacity, accelerate fulfillment and support the brand’s next stage of growth.

Ten Years of Combat Iron

Founded in 2016 by U.S. Army veteran Devin Hamrick, Combat Iron has grown from a small independent apparel company into a nationally recognized performance apparel and gear brand serving customers across all 50 states and international markets.

Combat Iron has built its reputation on tactical bags, performance training shorts, unapologetic graphic T-shirts and premium headwear. Its collections are created for the Tactical Athlete®-lifters, veterans, first responders and everyday athletes who train hard, work hard and expect their gear to keep up.

The company’s growth eventually outpaced the capacity of its existing fulfillment operation. That strain contributed to shipping delays over the past year and made it clear that Combat Iron needed to make a significant investment in the operation behind the brand.

Expanding Fulfillment in North Georgia

Combat Iron responded by bringing in a Chief Operating Officer, rebuilding its core fulfillment processes and strengthening its customer-service department. The company has cleared its previous order backlog and implemented new systems focused on faster processing, greater order accuracy and more dependable customer communication.

The acquisition of a third North Georgia warehouse is the next major step in that expansion.

The new facility will provide additional space for inventory, order fulfillment, apparel preparation and future product growth. It will allow Combat Iron to carry deeper inventory across its best-selling bags, shorts, graphic tees and headwear while increasing the number of orders its team can process each day.

Keeping all three facilities in North Georgia will also give the company greater control over inventory, quality assurance and the customer experience.

“Our customers were honest about where we needed to improve, and they were right,” said Devin Hamrick, founder and CEO of Combat Iron Apparel. “We outgrew the operation we had built. Buying our third warehouse gives our team the space and infrastructure to move faster, stay in stock on the products people want and provide the level of service our customers should expect from Combat Iron.”

Built for the Next Decade

The warehouse expansion comes as Combat Iron enters its second decade with a growing product line and a large direct customer community across email, SMS, social media and the Combat Iron mobile app.

While veteran ownership will always remain central to the company, Combat Iron has grown beyond the traditional veteran-apparel category. The brand now competes across performance apparel and tactical gear, combining functional products with a direct, unapologetic identity that has helped it build a loyal nationwide following.

“We are proud to be veteran-owned, but that alone does not make a great brand,” Hamrick said. “The bags have to hold up. The shorts have to perform. The apparel has to fit right, and the service has to match the quality of the product. Our goal is to build Combat Iron into one of the leading performance apparel and gear brands in the country.”

The expanded fulfillment operation is being built to support that goal by shortening processing times, improving inventory availability and creating the capacity needed for new products and continued worldwide growth.

After ten years, Combat Iron is entering its next chapter with a larger operational footprint, a stronger fulfillment department and the infrastructure required to deliver a premium experience from the moment a customer places an order through final delivery.

About Combat Iron Apparel

Combat Iron Apparel is a 100% veteran-owned and operated performance apparel and gear company founded in 2016 by U.S. Army veteran Devin Hamrick. Headquartered in Gainesville, Georgia, Combat Iron is known for its tactical backpacks and bags, performance training shorts, unapologetic graphic T-shirts and premium headwear built for the Tactical Athlete®.

The company serves lifters, veterans, military personnel, law-enforcement officers, firefighters and hardworking customers across all 50 states and international markets.

The initiative addresses secure, predictable parking needs near the I-35 and I-10 freight corridors

NEW YORK, United States – 17th September 2026 – RecNation Storage today announced an expanded focus on dedicated commercial truck parking in the San Antonio market, addressing demand from fleet operators, owner-operators and freight businesses seeking predictable space near two major interstate corridors.

San Antonio sits at the intersection of I-35 and I-10, connecting freight routes serving Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, El Paso, Laredo and communities across South Texas. The region supports retail distribution, oil field supply logistics, military contracting, short-haul operations and cross-border trade through the Laredo port of entry.

Commercial vehicle parking capacity has not kept pace with freight activity across Texas. Public rest areas and traditional truck stops along heavily traveled corridors can reach capacity before drivers complete scheduled routes. Federal hours-of-service requirements create mandatory rest periods, but available legal parking may not align with the end of a driver’s permitted operating window.

RecNation Storage’s expanded focus responds to the operational need for reserved or contracted parking that can be incorporated into fleet schedules. Dedicated facilities separate commercial vehicle storage from the fuel-and-food-service model of traditional truck stops, helping carriers confirm space before a vehicle arrives.

“Predictable parking supports route planning, driver scheduling and vehicle security across freight operations,” said Gary Wojtaszek, founder and CEO of RecNation Storage. “San Antonio’s position along I-35 and I-10 creates distinct requirements for long-haul drivers, local distribution fleets and operators staging commercial vehicles between assignments.”

The company’s approach to truck parking in San Antonio centers on accommodating the vehicle configurations used across regional freight operations. These include standalone tractors following trailer delivery, empty trailers awaiting new loads and full tractor-trailer combinations positioned for scheduled dispatches. Purpose-sized spaces allow operators to match parking arrangements with actual equipment rather than relying on whichever space remains available at a general-use location.

Security is another component of dedicated commercial vehicle parking. Gated access, perimeter fencing and video surveillance can reduce the exposure associated with leaving tractors, trailers or cargo at highway shoulders, informal pull-offs or unsecured lots. Monitored parking also provides fleet managers with documented facility controls that may support internal risk management and insurance reporting processes.

Access and location remain central to the San Antonio initiative. Facilities positioned near interstate interchanges can limit additional travel time and fuel use when vehicles enter or leave parking. Around-the-clock gate access also accommodates freight schedules that change because of loading delays, traffic conditions, customer requirements or variable arrival times.

The initiative reflects the varied parking demands created by San Antonio’s role as both a regional distribution center and a through-route for long-haul freight. Local carriers may require near-urban staging areas, while interstate operators need overnight parking within practical reach of primary corridors. Multi-vehicle fleets may require simultaneous space for tractors, trailers and full rigs.

RecNation Storage is also emphasizing flexible parking arrangements for operators whose vehicle counts change as freight volume shifts. The approach is intended to help carriers treat parking as a planned operating requirement rather than an unconfirmed stop at the end of a driving period.

About RecNation Storage

RecNation Storage owns and operates specialized vehicle storage facilities serving commercial and recreational vehicle requirements. Founded by Gary Wojtaszek, the company develops and manages purpose-built storage environments designed around vehicle access, space configuration and security. Its operations include parking and storage solutions for trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles and boats.

Online program uses participant-reported goals, availability, activity levels and equipment access to organize weekly activities

NEW YORK, NY — September 16, 2026 — APS today introduced Anatoly Fit, an online planning and recordkeeping program that organizes strength sessions, cardiovascular activities, recovery periods and meal planning in an adjustable weekly schedule.

Available beginning September 15 at anatolyfit.com, the program creates schedules from information participants enter about their goals, current activity levels, available equipment and time commitments. When those details change, participants can update their information and generate a revised schedule.

The launch is the first public release of Anatoly Fit. APS develops and operates the program. Pricing, participant totals, funding information and independent validation were not available at launch.

“People may have different amounts of time and different equipment available from one week to the next,” an APS spokesperson said. “We developed Anatoly Fit to organize the information they provide into a weekly schedule that can be revised as their circumstances change.”

Scheduling Approach

Anatoly Fit distributes activities and recovery periods across a week instead of applying one calendar to all participants. A sample schedule may assign strength sessions to Monday, Wednesday and Friday; cardiovascular activity to Saturday; and rest or light activity to the remaining days.

The sample is illustrative and is not assigned to every participant. Session timing, activity type and intensity depend on participant-reported information. If a participant identifies weight management as an objective, the program may organize a workout plan for weight loss. APS does not guarantee any particular result.

Participants can record completed activities, review earlier entries and revise schedules when work, family, travel or other commitments change. Meal planning can be arranged within the same weekly framework.

Data and Appropriate Use

Anatoly Fit relies on information entered by participants. Users are responsible for keeping their availability, activity levels, goals and equipment information current. Privacy information and access terms are published on the program’s website and should be reviewed before personal information is entered.

Anatoly Fit is a planning and recordkeeping tool. It does not diagnose conditions, provide individualized clinical care or replace guidance from a qualified professional. Participants should determine whether an activity or meal plan is appropriate for their circumstances and stop any activity that causes pain or concerning symptoms.

Program information, privacy details and access terms are available at anatolyfit.com.

Platform schedules adjustable training and recovery sessions for home, gym and travel settings

NEW YORK, NY — September 16, 2026 — APS today launched Anatoly Fit, an online workout program available through AnatolyFit.com that creates weekly training and recovery schedules based on each user’s fitness level, goals, available equipment and preferred workout setting. Designed for people who train at home, in gyms or while traveling, the platform combines scheduled sessions, adjustable exercises, movement guidance and activity records in one system.

During onboarding, users identify their current fitness level, training goals, preferred setting and available equipment. Anatoly Fit uses those selections to assign a starting level and schedule sessions for the week. Each session has a defined training focus, while users can adjust its difficulty or exercise selection to match their circumstances.

“Anatoly Fit is structured to give users a scheduled plan while allowing them to adjust individual sessions around their equipment and setting,” APS said in a company statement. “The platform also keeps movement guidance and activity records in one place.”

Equipment and Session Options

The program supports several equipment configurations:

• Bodyweight movements
• Mats, dumbbells and resistance bands
• Filled backpacks and sandbags
• Barbells and exercise machines

Users may change an exercise or difficulty level within an individual session without changing its scheduled training focus. This approach allows the same weekly plan to accommodate changes in location or equipment access.

The current release is available through the Anatoly Fit website as of September 15, 2026. APS has not announced pricing information.

Recorded Instruction

Recorded movement demonstrations accompany exercises involving multiple steps or coordinated actions. Users can pause and replay sections as needed. Written descriptions and notes on the website provide additional guidance for completing scheduled movements.

Activity Records

Anatoly Fit records completed sessions and user-entered information, including repetitions and resistance. Users can review these records over time to see their documented training history and previously completed sessions.

The platform’s current functions include:

• Weekly workout and recovery scheduling
• Exercise and difficulty adjustments within sessions
• Options for multiple equipment configurations
• Recorded movement demonstrations
• Written exercise guidance
• Session, repetition and resistance tracking

APS has not released beta-testing results, comparative performance findings or outcome data for Anatoly Fit.

About APS

APS develops digital fitness programming through the Anatoly Fit system. The platform provides scheduled workout sequences, adjustable exercise options, recorded demonstrations and activity tracking for home, gym and travel settings.

Laveen Village residential campus and men’s intensive outpatient program in Scottsdale now operate as a coordinated continuum of care

PHOENIX, Ariz. — September 16, 2026 — Into Action Recovery today announced that its residential campus in Laveen Village and men’s intensive outpatient program in Scottsdale are operating as a coordinated system for adult men transitioning between levels of addiction care.

The two locations share clinical planning and a structured treatment model. Participants may move from residential services to outpatient care while remaining with the same provider. Aftercare planning and alumni peer-support activities are also available.

Residential and Outpatient Programs

The Laveen Village campus provides residential treatment in Phoenix for men ages 18 and older. Typical stays range from 30 to 90 days, based on individual needs and clinical recommendations.

Programming may include individual counseling, group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, relapse-prevention education, 12-step activities, physical training, household responsibilities and personal development.

The Scottsdale location provides outpatient services for men returning to work, school or family responsibilities. The program generally meets three to five times per week for about three hours per session, including evening scheduling, and commonly lasts eight to 12 weeks.

“Connecting the two locations allows participants to move between levels of care with greater continuity in their clinical planning and daily structure,” said Chris Burwash, founder of Into Action Recovery.

Clinical Oversight and Services

Clinical services are overseen by Paul Flatley, DO, medical director and a board-certified addiction medicine physician, and Tara Harvell, LPC, BHP, clinical director and an Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners clinical supervisor. Individual treatment plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted according to clinical needs.

Services include alcohol rehab for men in Arizona, care addressing substance-use concerns and support for co-occurring conditions. The organization also provides residential inpatient rehab for men when that level of care is clinically appropriate.

Into Action Recovery states that its Arizona operations are licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services and accredited by The Joint Commission.

Kennedy University legit searches connect with CHEA-listed quality organizations, governmental authorization, and institutional accreditation across multiple regions.

Kennedy University legit searches can be placed in context through CHEA-listed quality-assurance organizations, governmental authorization, institutional accreditation, and separately maintained academic records across several regions.

PARIS, France, September 15, 2026 — Kennedy University legit searches often reflect a broad effort to understand the external academic records surrounding the institution. On September 15, 2026, Kennedy University published an updated global documentation overview clarifying how its external relationships, governmental authorizations, and institutional accreditations function together. This comprehensive record release helps students, credential evaluators, and academic partners evaluate each distinct registration within its proper regional and legal framework.

“Publishing an organized breakdown of our global academic records ensures that prospective students and institutional partners evaluate our status accurately,” stated Evan Miller, Communications Specialist. “Clarifying the specific scope of each authorization, membership, and program accreditation allows external reviewers to examine our international standing through clear, objective reference points.”

CHEA-Listed Quality Networks and International Recognition

Asia-Pacific Standards: A primary component of the institutional profile involves programmatic accreditation by the Association of the Universities of Asia and the Pacific (AUAP). The university maintains an established academic quality relationship within the AUAP Quality Assurance Standards framework. AUAP is identified in the International Directory of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) under the category of Regional International Organization, maintains formal consultative status with UNESCO, and holds a recognized relationship with WFUNA.

Programmatic Accreditation: In addition to regional quality networks, a program-specific record is held through the Independent Kazakhstan Center of Accreditation (IKCA). The IKCA Accredited Institutions Registry reflects accreditation for Kennedy University’s Doctor of Professional Studies (DPS/8D020) at the Paris campus with an effective date of June 1, 2026. Official verification of this status is detailed in the IKCA Accreditation Council decision document. IKCA is listed in the CHEA International Directory as an accreditation body, holds recognition by Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education, is included in the National Register of Recognized Accreditation Bodies, maintains Full Membership in INQAAHE and CEENQA, and holds Affiliate status with ENQA.

Institutional Memberships: Additional quality assurance relationships extend across multiple geographic regions. Kennedy University holds Approved Membership in the Americas Accreditation Council (AAC), formerly known as the Accreditation Agency of Curaçao. AAC appears in the CHEA International Directory as an accreditation agency, maintains ENQA Affiliate status, holds an ACBSP Memorandum of Understanding, and lists relevant relationships with education ministries in Curaçao and Anguilla. Separately, Kennedy University holds Approved Membership in the European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS). Each relationship contributes to the university’s external review framework while operating strictly within its designated organizational scope.

Governmental Authorization and Institutional Accreditation

European Portal Listing: Beyond voluntary quality networks, governmental records establish legal educational operations in specific jurisdictions. Kennedy University is listed on the French Ministry of Education web portal as an online educational institution authorized to confer private institutional degrees. This documentation confirms the institution’s formal status as a private postsecondary entity under applicable French educational regulations.

East African Degree Granting: In Somalia, Kennedy University holds formal governmental authorization from the Ministries of Higher Education in both Galmudug State and Hirshabelle State. This legal authorization encompasses degree-granting authority for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs. Operating under state educational authorities ensures that academic offerings meet regional regulatory standards for higher education delivery.

Separation of State Accreditation: Institutional accreditation in Galmudug State is maintained as a separate official record from standard state authorization. Kennedy University holds dedicated Institutional Accreditation from the Ministry of Higher Education, Galmudug State, Somalia. Maintaining separate documentation for basic authorization and institutional accreditation ensures that administrative permissions and quality evaluations are understood according to their specific legal functions.

System Operations and Jurisdictional Frameworks

Understanding Kennedy University legit documentation requires recognizing how distinct jurisdictional records operate across different administrative systems. Governmental authorization provides legal permission to operate and issue degrees within a specific country or state, whereas institutional and programmatic accreditation reflect specialized evaluations of academic quality. Quality network memberships further enhance international peer collaboration without replacing statutory state approvals. By maintaining separate records for each operational function, the institution ensures transparent alignment with local regulatory bodies and global academic evaluation standards.

External Relationship Boundaries

To preserve complete clarity regarding external oversight, institutional relationships must be distinguished from global institutional endorsements. CHEA listing indicates that an external quality agency or association appears within the CHEA International Directory; it does not constitute direct institutional accreditation of the university by CHEA itself. Similarly, consultative statuses held by partner organizations—such as WFUNA’s Category One Consultative Status with ECOSOC or ECLBS’s CIQG membership, INQAAHE membership, and Bilateral Recognition Agreement with ANQAHE—belong strictly to those external entities. Educational credentials must be evaluated based on the specific authority of the issuing campus and the localized scope of its supporting authorizations.

About Kennedy University

Kennedy University is an international higher education institution providing undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs across multiple specialized tracks. The university maintains a comprehensive network of governmental authorizations, institutional accreditations, and programmatic quality relationships across Europe, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. Comprehensive institutional information and current regulatory filings can be accessed directly at Kennedy University.

About Kennedy University of Baptist

Kennedy University of Baptist is a separate affiliated institution within the broader educational framework. It maintains annual verification as a religious college by the Florida Department of Education’s Commission on Independent Education. That Florida verification remains entirely separate from the institutional accreditations, governmental authorizations, and CHEA-listed quality network memberships held specifically by Kennedy University. Detailed information regarding its religious academic programs is available at Kennedy University of Baptist.

Washington DC — September 15, 2026 — Claudio Bono, founder and CEO of GiveARoof, announced today that after three years of unanswered outreach to California’s governor, his organization’s proposal to convert unused airline miles, hotel loyalty points, and credit card rewards into emergency housing funding has been heard at the federal level, including engagement with the White House.

 

Turning Unused Loyalty Points Into Emergency Housing

GiveARoof.org’s model redirects donated loyalty points, assets that individuals and companies hold but rarely use in full, into hotel stays and shelter for people experiencing homelessness. A partnership with United Airlines’ Miles on a Mission program has already surpassed its goal of 500,000 donated miles, demonstrating the concept at small scale without government funding, a national platform, or institutional backing.

“One person, one airline partnership, and half a million miles raised with no support system behind it — that alone should tell you this works,” said Claudio Bono. “Imagine what it could do with federal support.”

A Model Bono Says Could Scale Nationally

The public response has reinforced that appetite: everyday travelers routinely hold miles and points they don’t need or intend to use, and the United partnership shows that when given an easy way to redirect them, people will.

Bono believes securing additional corporate airline, hotel, and card partnerships could double GiveARoof.org’s donation volume and funding capacity, and that a simple, one-click platform for transferring points, paired with federal backing, would let the model scale nationally instead of one partnership at a time.

“We’re not asking anyone to give up something they need,” Bono said. “We’re asking them to redirect something they already have and aren’t using. A real partnership with the White House would let us do this intelligently, at the scale this crisis actually requires.”

Two Proposals for Federal Policymakers

Bono is calling on federal policymakers to act on two specific proposals:

A Welcome Center triage model that separates people experiencing homelessness by need — situational hardship, mental health, or substance use — so each group gets the right kind of help immediately, rather than one-size-fits-all shelter placement.

An amendment to IRC §170 allowing donors to claim a fair-market-value deduction for donated airline miles, hotel points, and credit card rewards — unlocking a currently untapped funding source for homelessness response.

Calling for Greater Accountability in Homelessness Funding

“I’ve spent three years trying to reach my own state’s elected leadership and gotten nothing back — not a call, not a meeting, not an answer,” Bono said. “As a taxpayer, I want to know why there’s no independent audit of how homelessness dollars are actually spent. Billions go out every year and the number of people on the street keeps climbing. Any elected official who wants to send more money without first showing where the last round went isn’t offering a solution — they’re offering the same failure at a higher price.”

The Homelessness Fix

Bono is also the author of The Homelessness Fix, which reached #1 on Amazon in Poverty & Social Issues and is available on more than 70 platforms worldwide. The book lays out the full framework behind GiveARoof.org’s approach.

“I started this after serving meals at a shelter and seeing that there’s no connective tissue between nonprofits, no shared data to catch the root causes before they spiral, and administrative costs eating into money meant for people who need it,” Bono said. “This is fixable, and it doesn’t need to take decades or cost tens of billions more to find out.”

Continuing Partnerships and Federal Engagement

GiveARoof.org continues to pursue partnerships with airlines, hotel groups, and financial institutions, and is in ongoing conversations with federal agencies including HUD and the White House Domestic Policy Council.

About GiveARoof

GiveARoof.org is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that converts donated travel and rewards points into emergency housing for people experiencing homelessness, built on a model designed to benefit donors, hotels, cities, and the federal government alike.
