VHA - Thomas Jefferson Partnership Development VISTA

Virginia Housing Alliance’s (VHA) AmeriCorps VISTA project is a statewide intermediary project with 18 Host Sites, that all work to either expand affordable housing opportunities and/or end homelessness throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. VHA’s VISTA project aims to develop viable communities by promoting integrated approaches that provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and expansive economic opportunities for low and moderate-income persons. This listing is to fill the Host Site opening at the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) in Charlottesville, VA. The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) seeks a dedicated AmeriCorps VISTA member to build the capacity of the Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership (CVRHP). This position creates sustainable systems that combat poverty by removing barriers to affordable housing access. The VISTA will develop tools, resources, and frameworks that enable the organization to more effectively serve low-income populations long after the service term ends. The Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership, established by TJPDC, coordinates regional efforts addressing housing needs, focusing on production, accessibility, cost, location, design, and stability. By building organizational capacity, establishing knowledge-sharing mechanisms, and creating sustainable funding frameworks, the VISTA will strengthen CVRHP's ability to implement housing solutions that move people out of poverty. The VISTA will create replicable systems for stakeholder engagement, data collection, resource development, and program evaluation that will continue to serve the community well beyond the service year.
