VHA - Community Services Housing Resource Development VISTA

Virginia Housing Alliance’s (VHA) AmeriCorps VISTA project is a statewide intermediary project with 18 Host Sites, all that either work to 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 Community Services Housing Inc. in Charlottesville, VA. The mission of Community Services Housing (CSH) is to serve the Charlottesville community with welcoming, low-barrier, affordable housing and compassionate property management services for individuals and families living with a range of disabilities and limited incomes. CSH develops, owns, and operates clean, safe, affordable housing for people living with physical and mental disabilities. CSH is looking for a detail-oriented individual to act as the Resource Development VISTA member. The goal of the VISTA project will be to strengthen CSH’s ability to better serve residents and the community with high-quality, low-barrier, affordable, responsive, and stable homes, and to expand affordable housing options.
