NLIHC welcomes Gabrielle Ross to the field team as housing advocacy organizer. Prior to joining NLIHC, Gabby was a housing stability specialist for a property management company in Washington, DC, where she worked with residents impacted by COVID-19 and at risk of eviction. She assisted residents applying for emergency rental assistance by helping them overcome potential barriers in the application process that could prevent them from receiving the support they needed. She also partnered with local nonprofits to conduct outreach to make sure DC residents were aware of the program and had the tools to apply for assistance. 
Previously, Gabby worked as a housing specialist at N Street Village for the Patricia Handy Place for Women shelter in Washington, DC. During her time there, she worked alongside case managers and community partners to find safe and affordable housing for the women at the shelter to exit homelessness successfully. Gabby graduated from Howard University in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in community development.
