25-26 Famicos - Housing Counseling Corps
 
 
 
The Homeownership Navigator will serve with Famicos in Cleveland, OH from August 2025-2026. Famicos is part of the Housing Counseling Corps initiative of Housing Action Corps, an AmeriCorps VISTA program managed by Housing Action Illinois since 2010. Housing Counseling Corps members receive custom training, support, networking, and post-service employment opportunities in the housing counseling field, in addition to the traditional benefits of AmeriCorps VISTA. Learn more: housingactionil.org/americorps. Famicos’ mission is to improve the quality of life in greater Cleveland through neighborhood revitalization, affordable housing and integrated social services. Our Homeownership Resource Center (HRC) offers comprehensive guidance and support through various services, including financial coaching, home purchase education, and housing stability assistance. The Homeownership Navigator will collaborate closely with prospective property owners and managers to promote housing opportunities for households experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness. They will conduct outreach, build relationships, create and provide educational materials, and enhance our tenant-landlord communication systems. After studying for and passing HUD housing counseling certification, they will pilot new systems of delivering our housing counseling services. We are looking for candidates who are motivated to help individuals and families find and maintain stable housing. Our ideal candidate will be a self-starter who is passionate about and has some knowledge or experience with low- and moderate-income communities, outreach, housing advocacy, and homelessness.

Member Duties : Famicos strives to be a reliable housing resource for our community and provide each client with the best possible support on their journey to homeownership and housing stability, but not enough property managers and people in need are aware of our services. The Homeownership Navigator will develop systems and resources to support both property managers and residents to grow the impact of our services throughout Cleveland. The VISTA will meet with local property managers and community agencies to build relationships and awareness of Famicos services. They will also coordinate community outreach events for residents and property managers. In collaboration with the Homeownership Resource Center staff, the VISTA will create and expand our housing resources to ensure more residents have the financial tools to maintain stable housing. During service, the VISTA will study for and take the HUD certification test to become a HUD certified housing counselor.
