houser

Housing rights champion

A houser is someone who works in or advocates for housing policy, particularly affordable housing development and tenant rights.

The term is common among urban planners, policy wonks, and nonprofit workers: She's been a houser for twenty years, fighting for rent control and public housing.

Less commonly, houser appears in compounds like house-houser for someone obsessed with home renovation shows.
