The Information Management VISTA will serve with Mercy Housing Lakefront in Chicago, IL from August 2025-2026. Mercy Housing Lakefront (MHL) is part of Housing Action Corps, an AmeriCorps VISTA program managed by Housing Action Illinois since 2010. Housing Action Corps members receive custom training, support, and networking opportunities in housing and community development, in addition to the traditional benefits of AmeriCorps VISTA. Learn more: housingactionil.org/americorps. MHL strives to create stable, vibrant, and healthy communities by developing, financing, and operating affordable, program-enriched housing for families, seniors, and people with special needs. To assist residents with chronic health conditions at our Permanent Supportive Housing properties, MHL provides a Community Health Worker (CHW) program. The Information Management VISTA will develop an outreach strategy to recruit CHWs from our resident population; promote training programs to improve CHW retention and development; and enhance our program operations, documentation, and systems. They will also create a communications strategy for improving telecommunications for residents and staff at MHL properties. Our ideal candidate is a team player who is willing to learn and work across multiple departments. They should be proficient in Microsoft Office applications. MHL provides our VISTA with opportunities for professional development and interdepartmental collaborations throughout service.

Member Duties : MHL’s Resident Services Department is motivated to expand our CHW program and recently implemented a new database to measure resident engagement, track telehealth service deliveries, and streamline our electronic filing systems. We recognize the need to ensure our CHWs are receiving adequate development, as well as to record and communicate our processes within our department. The Information Management VISTA will lead CHW program evaluations and develop training materials to build our department’s capacity for service delivery while increasing resident voice and engagement. The VISTA will assess our current Key Performance Indicators and recommend strategies for continuous quality improvement and monitoring. They will refine the CHW evaluation report and create templates for future evaluations and interdepartmental communications. The VISTA will create a telecommunications strategy for improving and sustaining communication with residents at MHL properties.
