Lorna Dilley
Lorna completed her undergraduate degree in sociology at Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH, and her master's degree in sociology at Kent State University.
She received her PhD in Urban Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in May 2006.
Her dissertation examined poor women's housing and neighborhood experiences after welfare's end.
Lorna spent several years in Cleveland as a mental health social worker before beginning her graduate studies.
She has taught courses in sociology and urban studies and her topics of research have included welfare reform, poverty, housing, and work and family issues.
Lorna worked at the Center on Age & Community in 2004 as the Outreach and Summit Coordinator for Almost Home.
She came back in January of 2006 to help in the transition while the search was underway for a new associate director, and now serves as CAC's Assistant Director.
