State and Local Innovations Intern

Help the National Low Income Housing Coalition End Evictions in America!

NLIHC seeks an intern for our State and Local Innovation (SLI) Project for the Summer 2025 semester (June to August). The intern will support the SLI team’s efforts to strengthen tenants’ rights, prevent evictions, and end homelessness.

The intern will track legislation and help update our tenant protections and housing trust fund databases; research the impact of the growing use of artificial intelligence and algorithms on access to housing, evictions, and housing stability; help draft Memo to Members newsletter articles on new policies related to tenant protections, emergency rental assistance, homelessness, and housing trust funds; help draft a tenant protections score card; and assist with other administrative duties as needed.

The State and Local Innovation intern will report to the NLIHC Project Manager of State and Local Innovation. NLIHC seeks someone with strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication (oral, interpersonal, and written) skills, as well as a strong commitment to racial and social equity and interest in state and local policies that can protect renters.

This is a remote position, and a modest stipend is provided. If interested in the position, please submit a cover letter, resume, and writing sample to Sarah Gallagher at sgallagher@nlihc.org and Tori Bourret at vbourret@nlihc.org.
