We're thrilled to welcome T.J. Cobb to the Acts Housing team as our new Vice President of Programs!

T.J. brings an impressive background in public health strategy, data, and housing — having served the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, and most recently as Director of Strategic Insights and Research at WHEDA. She holds degrees from UW–Milwaukee, is a graduate of Marquette's ACRE program, and is a proud alumnus of the Forward 48 Civic Leadership program.

We're lucky to have her — and we can't wait to see the impact she'll bring to our mission of empowerment through homeownership.

Welcome to the team, T.J.!
