NLIHC Welcomes Haadia Hyder as Strategic Partnerships & Campaigns Intern

By Haadia Hyder, NLIHC Strategic Partnerships & Campaigns Intern  

NLIHC is pleased to welcome Haadia Hyder as a Summer 2026 Strategic Partnerships & Campaigns intern. Haadia is an incoming sophomore at the Ohio State University, majoring in Public Management, Leadership and Policy and minoring in City and Regional Planning. At OSU, she works as a Community Engagement Associate with Urban Arts Space, is the Digital Editor and a Senior Staff Writer with the Sundial Humor Magazine, and is a member of 8th Floor Improv. Her interests span from campaign finance reform to voter efficacy to equitable housing and transit policy (and everything in between). 

If she’s not doing any of the above, you’ll find her working on a mural, reading non-fiction, rock-climbing, exploring the city, spending time with loved ones, or cooking up a new project.  

Joining the Strategic Partnerships & Campaigns team this summer, Haadia plans to use policy and narrative to strengthen national understanding of housing justice through cross-sector coalition-building. As a policy student, she believes that housing is one of the most fundamental foundations in a person's life, and by extension, that just housing policy is a core tenet of a concrete and thriving democracy.
