Rachel Clinton - 2024 NLC Boston Fellow

Rachel Clinton (she/her) currently serves as the Constituent Services Director for Senator Patricia Jehlen. Rachel is passionate about affordable housing access and justice reform. Rachel previously worked at the Somerville Homeless Coalition as a Coordinated Entry Case Manager which drove her to dive deeper into the disparities in housing access and the bureaucracy surrounding the process.

During her time working for Senator Jehlen, Rachel has been able to impact housing, unemployment, and criminal justice policy due to the constituent cases she has worked on. Rachel’s dedication to her constituents has heavily impacted her drive for change in her community. Through connecting with so many individuals Rachel knows how important having difficult conversations can lead to real effective change.

In Rachel’s free time, she loves to paint, find ways to see local artists perform their craft, and find any other way to support local organizations that are focused on community building.
