Andrea Noble is a resident board member living at Mutual Housing on the Greenway in South Sacramento. From the beginning stages of Mutual Housing California’s partnership with Housing California’s Residents United Network (RUN), Andrea has consistently and fiercely advocated for affordable housing. Despite her full plate as a grandmother and care provider for three grandchildren, she has participated in several “lobby days”, affordable housing advocacy training, and other RUN activities throughout California and Oregon.
Recalling life before Mutual Housing, “For more than a year my kids and I stayed at some motels in the neighborhood we were used to. We also couch surfed as they say but, always with the everpresent dread of invading others home spaces.”
And after living stably at Mutual Housing on the Greenway, “My son’s grades improved, their teachers started telling me they were developing a more positive rapport, and before you knew it they were 18 and graduated.”
