Pioneer Florida
Advancing solutions to Florida’s two biggest challenges – High-quality education choices and affordable housing to sustain Floridians’ economic success.
About Pioneer Florida
Florida is growing fast, attracting families, talent, and investment at a historic pace. That growth is driving demand for schools and housing, and the policy choices made now will determine the state’s future success.
Florida’s approach matters beyond its borders. Other states watch the Sunshine State closely, because of its openness to testing new ideas. Getting it right here can shape policy nationally.
Building on Florida’s leadership in educational choice and economic opportunity, Pioneer Florida advances solutions to two core challenges to the state’s long-term prosperity—education quality and workforce housing—through data-driven research, polling and public communications, coalition-building and legal action.
