Mary Singer is a Lived Experience Consultant for the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Assisting with research, systems evaluation and solutions design, she brings over a decade of expertise to the work. She hails from the mountains of Western North Carolina where she also serves as a lifelong caregiver, licensed massage therapist and community volunteer.
