Shelter House Housing Stability VISTA

Shelter House offers a robust continuum of programs and supports focusing on emergency, stabilization, and long-term interventions in the areas of housing, employment and mental health recovery. In doing so, we help hundreds of men, women, and children each year to overcome difficult barriers in their lives and move beyond homelessness. VISTA members provide crucial and important roles in the organization, and community as a whole, to increase the capacity and breadth of services available to the most vulnerable. We are thankful for our VISTA members who commit a year supporting our organization and dedicating themselves to our mission to end homelessness. We seek VISTA members who are driven and dedicated, always putting in good-faith effort to perform their job duties. We encourage our AmeriCorps VISTA members to go out into the world and absorb the lessons it has to offer! Their service year is an opportunity for personal growth and awareness building. Therefore, we strongly encourage participating in trainings, webinars, outreach, and educational courses. Applications are reviewed immediately after submission, with a quick response time.
