Senior Manager
The Kelsey
From the Bay Area, Allie Cannington is a white, Jewish, queer, disabled activist and organizer. Since gaining access to movements for disability rights and justice over ten years ago, Allie has organized people with disabilities on local, state, and national levels, always centering on people with disabilities who live at the margins, including LGBTQIA, Black, Indigenous, people of color, low/no income, and youth with disabilities. As Senior Manager at The Kelsey, Allie leads initiatives for state and federal policy change to make disability-forward housing the norm. Allie also spearheads community engagement for The Kelsey's housing pipeline and mobilizes people with disabilities and allies to advance disability-forward and equitable housing solutions. Within and outside of The Kelsey, Allie’s work is ultimately dedicated to unveiling everyone’s proximity to disability and to fueling justice movements that are intersectional, sustainable, and intergenerational.
