Travis “TJ” Noddings (any pronouns) is a housing justice organizer and CAT’s Tenant Advocacy & Engagement Coordinator, and is part of the Tenant Protection team.. TJ began organizing after supporting a friend through their first eviction hearing and witnessing the lack of support that tenants faced in our most dire moments of need. Soon after, they began developing tenant unions with friends and other organizers to build tenant power and raise class consciousness.

TJ has previously worked as a housing case manager serving HIV+ houseless residents throughout Multnomah County, and an eviction defense paralegal aiding unrepresented tenants going through the eviction process in the same courthouse that started their journey.

At CAT they work with tenants to develop leadership, provide education, form fighting tenant unions, and take direct action to address housing injustice.
