The deadline to sign on is Tuesday, March 11.

NPH is bidding farewell to our Deputy Director, Jennifer Tapken, and Narrative Specialist, Madison Roberts.

Madison joined NPH in 2021 as our first Narrative Specialist and played a key role in expanding NPH’s “Shift the Bay” initiative through the Begins With Home narrative campaign.

Jennifer joined NPH in October 2023 as the Deputy Director of Internal Strategy & Operations and was responsible for the overall strategy and internal management of the organization. Jennifer helped strengthen NPH’s organizational capacity towards fulfillment of its mission.

Both shared parting thoughts upon their departure:

From Madison: It's been a pleasure to work with and learn from such a smart, kind & passionate team. I'm grateful for the opportunity to grow the housing justice movement with NPH. ♥️

From Jennifer: I am so appreciative of the opportunity and the time that I have had here at NPH. I know our paths will continue to cross and I will continue to cheer and be a champion of NPH.

Their hard work and creative thinking will be deeply missed.
