Yes Years Lived in Northampton 1 Age 30 - 39 Sex Female Racial / Ethnic Background White Boards and Committees Housing Partnership Please list "other" board or committee of interest Field not completed. What skills and experience will you bring to this committee assignment? For many years I lived in subsidized housing (at Village Park Apartments in Amherst). I raised my children as a single mother, utilizing public transit, the Amherst Survival Center, as well as other community resources in order to survive and thrive as a member of my community. I put myself through nursing school and became a registered nurse, made possible largely by the fact that I had affordable housing. I understand from experience the challenges, stigmas, and issues faced by people living in public housing. Conversely, also from ﬁrst hand experience, I understand the value and signiﬁcance of affordable housing in making the difference between surviving and thriving for a family. As a nurse working in the ﬁeld of addiction and HIV treatment, I see reiterated time and again the connection between health and affordable housing. I feel passionate about housing and it's importance as a basic need for humanity, and I believe I can bring a helpful perspective to the committee based on my lived experience.
