Housing in Action is leading the fight for housing justice by creating dignified, affordable rental and homeownership opportunities. Through advocacy and community engagement, they are co-creating trusting relationships and strong communities that have the power to transform
neighborhoods.

Temi Ogunrinde is the Equity and Engagement Director at Housing in Action (formerly Urban Homeworks). Temi works on policy, community engagement and pathways to homeownership. When asked why she does this work she says, “I firmly believe that dignified housing is a right, not a luxury, and that everyone should be afforded the opportunities to own a home. I wanted to be intentional of working in spaces that fight for this right. I chose to work for Housing in Action specifically because it’s important that the work we do is unapologetically centered on community. We commit to doing this work alongside the community, with great humility and care and that is why this is where I want to be.”

Temi will be providing a detailed overview about the organization, housing justice, and ways community can engage in their work. Please join us.
