July 13, 2026 – Atlanta, GA
As Atlanta families face increasingly complex barriers to stability, Our House is strengthening its leadership structure to better align programs, expand services, and meet families with more coordinated care.
The organization has announced three key promotions: Tyreesha Hubbard, DNP, CPNP-PC, has been named Chief Program Officer; Jennifer Rossignol, FNP-C, has been named Senior Director of Health Programs; and Mario Lopez-Rodriguez, MPH, BSN, RN, has been named Senior Director of Evaluation and Learning.
Together, the roles are designed to strengthen how Our House connects programs, delivers integrated health services, and uses data to improve support for children and families.
“Our House continues to evolve to meet the needs of Atlanta families,” said Tyese Lawyer, President and CEO of Our House.
“These promotions mark strategic investments in leadership, systems, and program alignment, allowing our teams to focus deeply on the work ahead and families to experience the full coordinated strength of Our House.”
Recent data underscores the urgency. According to the 2026 Atlanta Point-in-Time Count, homelessness increased by 6% compared with 2025. While family homelessness declined by 8%, unsheltered family homelessness increased, pointing to a troubling gap for families who may not have access to shelter options that allow parents, fathers, older sons, multiple children, or larger households to remain together.
For Lawyer, the leadership changes reflect what Our House sees every day: families navigating more than one crisis at a time. A housing crisis may be connected to untreated health needs, lack of childcare, job disruption, transportation challenges, trauma, or the absence of a reliable support system.
“The need is too great for fragmented solutions,” Lawyer said. “Families deserve coordinated support from an organization that is built to respond with intention. These leadership changes help us continue growing in a way that strengthens outcomes for families.”
That coordinated approach begins with program alignment. In her new role as Chief Program Officer, Hubbard will serve as a strategic connector across Our House programs, helping ensure that services are working together toward the same mission and that families experience Our House as one connected system of care.
“The Chief Program Officer role was created to help us see across all of our programs, identify where we can be stronger together, and make sure every part of our work is moving in the same direction,” Hubbard said. “My north star is to strategically align Our House programs so that every family, child, and individual we serve experiences the full power of what we offer, not a fragment of it, but the whole.”
Hubbard’s leadership philosophy is grounded in humanity, community, and the belief that families should not have to navigate disconnected systems on their own.
“I believe my most important title is that I am a human being,” Hubbard said. “We are meant to exist deeply in community. When we put humanity first, our shared experiences are better. I am honored to build on the strong foundation already in place and help our programs become greater than the sum of their parts.”
Health is one place where that alignment becomes especially critical. For many families, physical health, mental health, housing, employment, and child development are deeply linked, making integrated care central to long-term stability.
As Senior Director of Health Programs, Rossignol will provide strategic and operational leadership for Our House Health’s integrated medical and behavioral health services. Her role includes oversight of clinic operations, clinical staff and providers, care coordination, community partnerships, regulatory and clinical compliance, and collaboration across programs to improve health outcomes for families.
Her expanded role supports Our House’s continued investment in healthcare access, particularly mental and behavioral health.
“I lead the team with a core belief that a whole-person approach to health is essential for families to achieve sustainable, long-term health and wellness,” Rossignol said. “Our clinical team does not just treat symptoms. They care for the entire person and the experiences that have shaped how they show up today.”
Rossignol said greater alignment across Our House programs is critical for families experiencing overlapping needs.
“I am appreciative and humbled to continue leading the healthcare team in this expanded role as we work to bridge the tremendous health equity gap,” Rossignol said.
“This transition is geared toward greater alignment among Our House programs, and that is pivotal to the families we serve.”
The same commitment to alignment is shaping how Our House measures progress and learns from its work. As services grow, the organization is looking beyond participation numbers to better understand what families need, where barriers remain, and how programs can continue improving.
As Senior Director of Evaluation and Learning, Lopez-Rodriguez will support every program across Our House by strengthening the organization’s use of data, evaluation, learning, and continuous improvement.
For Lopez-Rodriguez, evaluation is about making sure families are seen clearly and served well. “All the families we serve deserve to be known and not just counted,” he said.
That belief is shaped in part by his own lived experience.
“Having been raised as part of a Mexican immigrant family by a single mom, this work is personal,” Lopez-Rodriguez said. “I bring my experiences navigating complex systems to my work across departments, with the goal of removing barriers and improving data infrastructure for previous, current, and future Our House families.”
These leadership investments are part of a broader period of program growth. Our House is working to grow its mental health capacity through Our House Health, continue partnerships with local shelters and community-based organizations to host on-site health fairs and screenings, and expand workforce development to include employment training for careers in home health. In late 2027, Our House also plans to launch a mobile clinic to bring care closer to families and communities facing barriers to access.
As the organization grows, its focus remains the same: helping families move from crisis toward stability with the care, tools, and support they need to build lasting well-being.
“Our responsibility is to grow with purpose, on purpose,” Lawyer said. “That means listening to families, strengthening our teams, using data to learn, and making sure our programs work together in service of one goal: helping families thrive.”
