NLIHC is pleased to welcome Hannah York as our Summer 2024 State and Local Innovation intern! Hannah is currently pursuing her master’s degree in public policy with a concentration in social policy and innovation at the School of Public Affairs at Sciences Po in Paris, France. Originally from Atlanta, she attended the University of Georgia, earning a bachelor’s degree in history, comparative literature, and intercultural studies in 2023. During that time, she worked as an assistant archival processor at the University of Georgia’s Special Collections Library, where she processed collections from Georgia politicians and activist groups. Passionate about improving racial and social inequalities, she recently completed a project analysing the communication systems between shelter services and individuals experiencing homelessness in Paris, leading to her desire to learn more about affordable housing in the U.S. Hannah is excited to research state and local tenant protections and how states and localities can act to prevent evictions, discrimination, and housing instability for low-income renters. We are happy to have Hannah on board!
