Member Duties : Northern Illinois Regional Affordable Community Housing (NIReACH) is a public housing authority that is committed to providing safe, decent, and affordable housing. Through the 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. The Community Liaison VISTA will build on the work of two previous VISTAs, focusing on the third phase of education. The VISTA will serve to create connectivity, digital literacy, mental health awareness, food security, and financial literacy in our community. They will accomplish this work through community partnerships and curriculum development. The VISTA will aim to increase education and digital connection resources, outreach to new community partners, and identify funding for expanded services. Further, the VISTA will also coordinate and develop a Digital Ambassador Program with the resident volunteers.
