Meet Jenna

Jenna was born and raised in Bloomington. She went to District 87 schools (Irving, BJHS, BHS) and lived in a few different places around the south and west sides of town. She spent many summers swimming at O’Neil pool or finding enough change around the house to buy Laffy Taffy at Carl’s Ice Cream.

Jenna’s family were renters but, fortunately, never experienced housing instability. It is important to Jenna that everyone has the opportunity to experience housing stability because housing is a major social determinant of someone’s health.
