Jordan Klein is pursuing a Master's degree in the Department of City and Regional Planning; he is interested in studying how the built environment supports and hinders social and economic justice. At CC&S, he is working on the development of a policy for joint use of public school facilities in San Francisco. Jordan formerly worked as a Program Officer and Director of Disaster Preparedness at United Way of the Bay Area; in these roles, he collaborated with nonprofits, local governments, and other community stakeholders to improve human services in the region. Since 2005, Jordan has served on San Francisco's Citizens Committee for Community Development, an advisory group that oversees some of the city's investments in infrastructure, public services, and economic development.
