Theresa Jones

“Effective homelessness solutions demand tackling racial disparities at their core, striving for a more equitable society. Incorporating a racial equity and justice lens into homeless response strategies facilitates crafting culturally responsive interventions tailored to the distinct needs of individuals and communities of color.”

Theresa has a robust background in housing and urban development, focusing on enhancing housing programs and supporting disenfranchised communities. At The People Concern, she developed systems and policies to monitor contracts with HACLA, LACDA, and SMHA, ensuring HUD compliance. As a strategic liaison, Theresa facilitated communication and policy revisions, conducted racial equity analyses, created inclusive leadership training, and crafted specialized trainings for housing homeless individuals.

She has expertise in HMIS systems like Service Point, Clarity, and CHAMP, and has played key roles in audits, policy advocacy, and quality assurance. Theresa's experience drives her commitment to equitable housing access.
