VHA - Housing Families First Training Strategist 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 Housing Families First located in Richmond, VA. Housing Families First (HFF) gives families facing homelessness the opportunity to build a family legacy by providing a path to a permanent home. HFF primarily serves families with minor children who are experiencing homelessness in the Greater Richmond region. With a focus on dignity and respect, the overarching objective of all HFF programs is to make each household’s homelessness brief, rare, and when possible, one-time only. HFF is looking for a detail-oriented, creative individual to serve as the Organizational Training Strategist VISTA to strengthen the current internal staff trainings and incorporate the landlord and volunteer playbooks completed by the 2024-2025 VISTA member to create a comprehensive internal training playbook. It will also include compliance training, ethical storytelling, CPR/first aid, and existing new hire orientation. A robust, standardized training schedule and playbook developed by the VISTA will ensure HFF’s consistent and best practices in program delivery to participants and communication with constituents.
