Housing story

I’ve lived in several major cities and seen the impacts that the housing crisis has had on local communities. Living in cities with extremely high rates of homelessness has made me passionate about finding solutions to support people who are experiencing homelessness. YIMBY Action is the first organization I’ve found that fights for a future where everyone can have secure housing.
