NLIHC is pleased to welcome Zak Zethner as research intern for the 2022-2023 academic year. Zak is currently pursuing his bachelor’s degree at George Washington University, majoring in political science and minoring in law and society. He became interested in affordable housing through his involvement in local politics on Long Island, New York, where he worked as a specialist in the New York State Emergency Rental Assistance program. Meeting with tenants and landlords to help them with their applications demonstrated to Zak the overwhelming need for substantial housing reform, and he has been invested in affordable housing ever since. As an intern, Zak is excited to learn about other ERA programs around the country and develop skills to analyze and address our nation’s systemic housing problems. We are excited to welcome Zak to NLIHC!
