Joanna Carr has had a 15-year career in the housing and homelessness sector. From direct services in the United Kingdom, providing advice and legal assistance to households experiencing unsheltered homelessness and housing instability, Carr later transitioned to working as a case manager for veteran families under a rapid rehousing program in Phoenix, Arizona. Her experience progressed into research and policy, finding passion in systems improvement, founded in a belief that systems have the ability to work better for people who need them. She now works for Community Solutions, a national nonprofit, working as a systems advisor to communities on the U.S. West Coast striving to improve their homelessness response systems and drive an end to homelessness.
