Tyler Roush Communications Director
Why I am passionate about Landesa’s mission:
I spent the first decade of my career working for social service organizations domestically, and saw firsthand the importance of safe, affordable housing for individuals and families. Secure land rights have a similar impact around the world. The fundamental recipe is the same – create a secure environment in which people have the tools and the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty. To not just survive, but thrive.
