Jenny joined Justice in Aging in 2022 and focuses on federal housing advocacy to reduce housing insecurity and homelessness among low-income older adults. She works to improve access to deeply affordable, accessible, community-based housing that allows older adults to age in place with the supports they need. She also co-chairs the Consortium for Constituents with Disabilities (CCD) Housing Task Force. Jenny’s advocacy is informed by the eight years she spent in direct legal services representing older adults and people with disabilities in cases involving fair housing, eviction defense, Medicaid (including Home and Community-Based Services), and income supports such as SSI.
Jenny was formerly a supervising attorney at Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. (CLASI) in Delaware and helped lead the program’s fair housing and public benefits work. Before her time at CLASI, she was a staff attorney at the Pennsylvania Health Law Project and Community Legal Services of Philadelphia, where she also served as a Borchard Fellow in Law & Aging. Jenny received her BA and JD from the University of Virginia.
Jenny is based in Washington, DC. In her free time, she enjoys reading and supporting Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
State Bar Admissions: Pennsylvania and Delaware.
