NLIHC is pleased to welcome Tia Turner as policy intern. Tia is completing a master’s degree in sociology at Arizona State University and will begin attending the Howard University School of Law in 2024. While helping mobilize and educate unhoused residents in Huntsville, Alabama, in the months before the 2020 elections, Tia witnessed several encampment closures and saw first-hand their negative impacts on the unhoused community. Her experiences in Alabama made her a zealous advocate for housing justice, and she soon co-founded Love Huntsville, an organization that directly serves the unhoused community. Tia understands that the road ahead may be long, but the pursuit of housing justice is a noble and necessary endeavor. Before entering her graduate program, Tia earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
