2023-2024 Housing Counseling and Outreach VISTA
 
 
 
The Housing Counseling and Outreach VISTA position will be hosted by Consumer Credit Counseling Service of the Savannah Area (CCCS) located in Savannah, Georgia. CCCS is a part of the Housing Action AmeriCorps Network, an AmeriCorps VISTA program managed by Housing Action Illinois since 2010. The Housing Counseling and 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. CCCS is a local credit and housing counseling agency serving the Savannah area for over 55 years. We offer free financial education and counseling around credit, debt management, and housing. Our clients consistently give positive reviews of our services and staff, and we maintain strong links to community partners and other social service providers. Small but mighty, last year CCCS helped clients pay off over $1,000,000 in debt and reached over 1,000 families and individuals through counseling and education efforts. The Housing Counseling and Outreach VISTA will develop strategies to enhance marketing, development, and outreach strategies. The VISTA will also gain a comprehensive understanding of housing counseling and train to complete the HUD certification exam for housing counselors. An ideal candidate has a desire to serve low-wealth communities and demonstrate skills in marketing, brand development, and communication.
