By Treasure Evans, NLIHC IDEAS Intern
NLIHC is pleased to welcome Treasure Evans (she/her) as a Summer 2026 IDEAS intern. Treasure is a master's student in Sociology at Georgia State University, where her current research focuses on housing justice and racial equity. She previously interned at the Brookings Institution’s Race, Prosperity, and Inclusion Initiative, contributing qualitative research on well-being in Black communities, and currently serves as a Graduate Research Assistant at GSU’s Center for Neighborhoods and Communities, partnering with the Georgia Community Action Association on a statewide impact project. Treasure holds a B.S. in Psychology from Kennesaw State University and has long been committed to equity-centered scholarship and community advocacy. Her interest in joining NLIHC stems from personally witnessing how housing instability compounds the barriers faced by Black families and low-income communities. Through her work, she hopes to deepen her policy expertise and become a more effective advocate for housing justice nationwide.
