NLIHC is excited to welcome Nara Kim as our policy intern for the summer. Nara is a rising senior at Yale University studying political science with a focus on social movements and grassroots community organizing. Before joining NLIHC, she served as an organizer at the Connecticut Tenant Union, where she worked alongside tenant leaders to mobilize their community. Her efforts contributed to the Blake Street chapter’s historic win in May, when it became the first tenant union in the state to secure a collectively bargained lease with its landlord. Having grown up with first-hand experience of the exploitative housing system and the drastic power imbalances between landlords and low-income residents, Nara is excited to join NLIHC and contribute to meaningful policy changes that promote housing justice and equity. Her background and dedication make her a valuable addition to our team, and we look forward to her contributions this summer.
