NLIHC is pleased to welcome Sasha Legagneur as our Fall 2024 Field Intern! Sasha is currently completing a master’s degree in public administration at American University, with a concentration in urban policy. She holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and political science from the University of South Florida. Before joining NLIHC, Sasha was a fundraising and development intern for Move for Hunger, based in Neptune, NJ, and the Anti-Racism Commitment Coalition, based in Chaska, MN. Her interest in housing policy originated during an internship with the City of Tampa’s Code Enforcement Division in Spring 2023, during which she learned about land use policies and their often exclusionary nature. During her time with NLIHC, Sasha hopes to learn more about the gains and shortcomings of current housing policies, the legislative processes that lead to federal implementation, and how to effectively bring new members into a coalition.
