NLIHC is pleased to announce that Brooke Schipporeit, one of the Coalition’s housing advocacy organizers, has been promoted to the position of manager of field organizing. Brooke has served as an NLIHC housing advocacy organizer since January 2019. She has also held positions at Self-Determination Housing of Pennsylvania, RESULTS (Philadelphia), the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia Youth Sentencing and Reentry Project, among other organizations. Brooke holds a bachelor’s degree in social work from Nebraska Wesleyan University and an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice.
Brooke will oversee and support the work of NLIHC’s field organizers and report to Sarah Saadian, NLIHC Senior Vice President for Public Policy and Field Organizing, whose role has been expanded to oversee field organizing as well as housing policy. NLIHC is confident that pulling the policy team and field team closer together will create powerful synergy and pay strong dividends.
Join us in congratulating Brooke and Sarah!
