She/Her

Lily Shoulberg - 2025 NLC New York City Fellow

Lily Shoulberg is a devoted community educator, tenant advocate, and lifelong learner. Her experiences as a born-and-raised New Yorker have profoundly shaped her views and fostered her commitment to public education and housing equity. Motivated by a core belief that all New Yorkers deserve equal access to high-quality public resources, she earned her master’s degree in Urban Policy and Leadership from Hunter College, graduating summa cum laude in Fall 2022. In graduate school, Lily conducted policy research and analysis on many areas of urban policy, and was inspired to pursue a career in affordable housing policy. She continues to tutor students and anticipates her next venture as a Project Manager on the Partners in Preservation program at the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
