Katie Gentry
Impact and Data Coordinator for the Arizona Housing Coalition
Katie served as an AmeriCorps VISTA member in 2016-2017 in the Office of Mayor Greg Stanton. Her primary focus was homeless services, human trafficking,
and veteran support. Katie believes being a VISTA allowed her to discover what she wanted to do and a chance to network with support the of other city staff, which ultimately landed her a job that she loves.
After her year of service, Katie transitioned to full-time employment at the City of Phoenix, focusing on homelessness. Currently she is the Impact and Data Coordinator for the Arizona Housing Coalition. The Arizona Housing Coalition is a collaborative association that leads in the efforts to end homelessness and advocate for safe, affordable homes for all Arizonians. As a statewide membership trade organization, the coalition focuses on advocacy, collaboration, and education for its members and throughout Arizona. Katie is working on coordinating and assisting with the Arizona Veteran StandDown Alliance as well as the creation of the statewide Veteran By Name List.
