The Team
By 2024, Sokrat Arzumanyan had built more than just a successful real estate career—he had built a mission. His nonprofit, Healthy Homes, was tackling the devastating effects of lead-based paint poisoning, helping elderly homeowners, low-income families, and children by providing them resources and educating them about a problem that exists
While busy with a lot of construction projects every single project meant jumping through hoops—permits that took forever, redundant inspections, and officials more focused on paperwork than helping people. Time after time, his projects were delayed by unnecessary rules, costing families precious months—sometimes years—before their homes could be built.
Sokrat was growing tired. He had fought too hard to be slowed down by inefficiency. He needed a solution, and more importantly, he needed an ally who knows the system.
That’s when he met Xjvirr.
Xjvirr is a City Planner in the City of Burbank, working in the Community Development Department. At first, Sokrat thought he was just another city official—one of the many who stalled progress rather than supported it. But within minutes of their first real conversation, he realized he was wrong.
With extensive knowledge in construction and being amazing at his job unlike so many others, Xjvirr actually cared. He saw the problems in the system. He understood that city processes—while necessary—were often outdated, slow, and frustratingly inefficient.
Sokrat saw something in Xjvirr that he hadn’t seen in a long time—vision. He saw a man who wasn’t content with following the rules for the sake of following them. But someone who wanted to improve them. Someone who wanted to work outside the constraints of government. For the first time Sokrat has shared his story and they talked about acting, realizing that they have a common dream, protecting children, helping elderly in need, making a difference.
Over the next few months, Sokrat and Xjvirr became more than just acquaintances—they became a team.
Sokrat, the unstoppable entrepreneur, knows how to push boundaries and get things done. Xjvirr, the city insider, knows how to navigate the maze of government regulations without getting lost.
What started as casual conversations will soon become into policy proposals, city meetings, and real legislative progress.
And suddenly, Healthy Homes isn’t just a nonprofit anymore—it is a movement.
Sokrat and Xjvirr were from different worlds—one was an immigrant-turned-entrepreneur, the other a city official helping people in need from within. But they shared the same fire, the same frustration, and the same unwillingness to accept the status quo.
For Sokrat, Xjvirr was a breath of fresh air in a system that often suffocated progress.
For Xjvirr, Sokrat was proof that one determined person could force change, no matter the obstacles.
What started as a simple meeting in 2023 became the foundation for a long-term fight against lead poisoning and unsafe housing conditions in California.
And this is only the beginning.
