About me
Jordan Cooper joined UHAB as Organizing Director in 2023 where she and her team organize the HOPE Tenant Union of Eastern Brooklyn. A native of Philadelphia currently based in Flatbush, Brooklyn, she has been working to support the Tenant Movement in New York since 2016. Previously, Jordan held the position of Co-Director at CASA - New Settlement where she worked with New York's leading coalitions including Housing Justice for all and Right to Counsel NYC to pass historic tenant rights legislation, the first Right to Counsel in the country, and the lowest rent increases from the Rent Guidelines Board in history. Her passion is to bring communities together to build deep relationships, nurture each other’s growth and political analysis, and take bold action together to make our cities truly supportive of community autonomy.
