2023-2024 Homeless Continuum of Care Program VISTA
 
 
 
Being able to share information on an ongoing basis increases the opportunities to collaborate while reducing duplication of services. LCCH has had tremendous success in reducing chronic and veteran homelessness in Lake County. The group continues to drive toward the goal of ending homelessness—having a system of care where people experiencing a housing crisis are quickly housing and given the supports they need to succeed. This VISTA position will increase the capacity of LCCH by developing systems that can be built upon by volunteers related to: 1) Amplifying the voice of people experiencing homelessness. 2) Develop fundraising strategy to support the growing work of the Lake County Coalition for the Homeless. 3) Support the Landlord Engagement work group in their effort to recruit and educate landlords to rent units to people experiencing homelessness. Ideal candidates will have experience working with social service agencies and an interest in homelessness, poverty and housing. Must have excellent written and verbal communication skills, be organized and work well independently.
