Member Duties : The Jersey City Housing Authority (JCHA) is the city’s largest provider of affordable senior housing. As part of the ConnectHome initiative, the JCHA continuously seeks ways to expand digital inclusion within its communities, as well as educate residents on all possible uses of technology. The JCHA has partnered with the AARP Foundation on an initiative designed to promote social interaction and engagement among the senior population via the distribution of internet-connected devices and digital training. The ConnectHome Technical Coordinator VISTA will work closely with the Digital Equity Coordinator and on-site ROSS Coordinator, and will be integral in planning, implementing, and assessing this initiative. The VISTA will also create a digital literacy plan for residents, implement the distribution of devices, seek further funding, and create a sustainability and expansion plan for the program.
