AHCOPA is a part of the Housing Action AmeriCorps Network, an AmeriCorps VISTA program managed by Housing Action Illinois since 2010. The Housing Counseling Community Outreach VISTA is part of the Housing Counseling Corps and will receive customized training, support, guidance, networking, and post-service employment opportunities in the housing counseling field. Learn more about the program on Housing Action’s website: housingactionil.org/americorps. AHCOPA is a HUD-Approved housing counseling agency in Philadelphia. Through housing counseling, education, and advocacy, we increase and preserve housing stability and homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income households and Black and brown communities. AHCOPA values diversity, equity, and inclusion and is driven by the understanding that homeownership creates wealth, supports stability, and results in strong communities. The Housing Counseling Community Outreach VISTA will increase visibility and access to our services via community outreach, education, and marketing materials, both written and visual. They will also gain a comprehensive understanding of housing counseling and train to complete the HUD certification exam for housing counselors. The ideal candidate will be eager to build new relationships and passionate about supporting healthy communities.
