Noerena Limón is the Chief Executive Officer of the Casita Coalition, a pioneering organization dedicated to tackling the national housing crisis through innovative “missing middle” housing solutions.

Prior to that, Noerena served as Executive Vice President for Public Policy and Industry Relations at the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), where she was a leading voice for advancing Latino homeownership. Her career also includes roles at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), where she worked in the Office of Mortgage Markets, and in the Obama Administration as part of the White House’s Office of Political Affairs.

Noerena holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Master in Public Policy (MPP) from the Harvard Kennedy School.
