NLIHC is pleased to welcome Jordan Brown as the Coalition’s 2021 fall research intern. Jordan is pursuing her bachelor’s degree at Georgetown University, majoring in sociology and African American studies. Her interest in equitable housing policy developed through coursework on Black urban migration, the United States’ history of discriminatory housing policies, and gentrification. She and another Georgetown student are currently working on a paper for publication on how mural art interacts with gentrification in the Shaw neighborhood of D.C. She is excited to combine her interests in research and equitable housing in support of NLIHC’s mission to ensure access to housing for the lowest-income Americans. Please join us in welcoming Jordan to the NLIHC team!
