In August, he and his wife welcomed their second child, a baby girl. \u00a0And, now, Hertz, 39, has been named among this year\u2019s class of Crain\u2019s 40 Under 40.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1991, Crain\u2019s has gathered 40 of the community\u2019s top young leaders each year for a special salute. Click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crainsdetroit.com\/awards\/ryan-hertz-40-under-40-2019\">here<\/a>\u00a0to read more from Crain\u2019s about Hertz\u2019s award.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s truly an honor to receive this recognition for the work we do,\u201d he says. \u201cI couldn\u2019t do it without an amazing team, our partner congregations, and all of our donors and volunteers. I\u2019m grateful to all who support Lighthouse\u2019s mission and efforts. We\u2019re counting on the community\u2019s continued support because there\u2019s still much more work to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan assumed the role of Lighthouse CEO in January 2019. The new Lighthouse provides a stronger collective response to homelessness and poverty in Oakland County. Behind the scenes, Ryan works with staff, board members, donors, volunteers and other stakeholders to keep our operations running smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that, he led SOS for nearly a decade, helping to expand SOS\u2019s scope of services to encompass emergency shelter, rental assistance, affordable housing development, supportive service solutions and crowdfunding technologies that have helped thousands of displaced people get back on their feet and find a renewed sense of purpose.<\/p>\n<p>He is passionate about connecting those with a giving spirit to powerful opportunities to change the lives of others. In fact, Ryan was named among Crain\u2019s 20 in their 20\u2019s back when he was just 28 years old for his work helping those in need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy greatest professional achievement to date has probably been securing $1.36 million in Low-income Housing Tax Credits resulting in $12.5 million in equity for our Coolidge Place affordable housing development that is now under construction,\u201d he told Crain\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ongoing willingness to challenge ourselves to do better for those who seek our services is what led to this tax credit award. That same spirit is now fueling the new Lighthouse. For too long, our lower-income neighbors have been stigmatized and this has served no one. I believe our combined organization will help change the conversation. I\u2019m excited for all that\u2019s to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan will be honored along with other members of Crain\u2019s 2019 class of 40 Under 40 on Thursday, November 21, during an awards ceremony at The Roostertail in Detroit.
