Guided by a mission of “development without displacement,” the Chicago Rehab Network (CRN) strives to make housing affordable for every Chicagoan through research, capacity-building, and advocacy. As a coalition of community development corporations and housing advocates, CRN focuses both low-income communities facing housing insecurity as well as the non- profit housing developers that serve these communities. The Outreach & Community-Building VISTA will support the longevity of our Center for Shared Ownership programming for housing co-ops, build and increase engagement within our network of member organizations, and will lead a communications and outreach strategy to grow our digital presence and increase constituent engagement.

They will have experience doing outreach and will be excited to take on creative leadership in building and tracking member relationships and connecting with constituents through newsletters, social media, and fundraising campaigns. This position is a part of the Housing Action AmeriCorps Network, which is an AmeriCorps VISTA program managed by Housing Action Illinois since 2010. As such, this position will receive customized training, support, guidance, and networking opportunities, in addition to the traditional opportunities for AmeriCorps VISTA positions.
