Member Duties : Northern Illinois Regional Affordable Community Housing (NIReACH) is a public housing authority that is passionate about providing affordable housing that will enrich the lives of the residents. Through partnership with HUD’s ConnectHome program, NIReACH is addressing the digital divide, to increase resident access to technology, skills, and options for free-to-low-cost broadband services. This project will fight poverty by allowing residents to have access to modern information and services that can help improve their education, job resources, health resources, and living situation. The goal of the VISTA is to promote digital inclusion for NIReACH residents through engaging the community, recruiting volunteers, and building a community accountability and governance committee for our Connect Home program. Further, the VISTA will aim to increase education and digital connection resources, outreach to new community partners, and identify funding for expanded services.
