Our Staff

Inquilinos Unidos has a skilled and dedicated staff whose job is to identify, train, and unite tenant leaders to build sustainable groups and mount organizing campaigns in slum buildings with severe habitability violations, oppose unfair and exploitative rental housing practices, and advocate for the preservation and expansion of affordable housing and rent control.

All IU staff is bilingual and well versed in tenant rights, current housing policy, local ordinances, and regulations. IU organizers have an intimate knowledge of the communities they serve with particular expertise in the breaking down of cultural and language barriers within the Spanish-speaking community.
