POAH is a national nonprofit whose mission is to preserve, create, and sustain affordable, healthy homes to support economic security and access to opportunity for all.

Our ideal candidate is community-oriented and data-driven, with a strong passion for social impact. They should be tech savvy, familiar with digital tools, and demonstrate organizational and project management skills. We are looking for candidates who are culturally competent, communicate easily with others, and have strong interpersonal skills. This position offers a $500 monthly housing stipend.

Member Duties : POAH and other local stakeholders are providing resources to ensure low-income households can stay in Woodlawn despite the expected economic impact of the Obama Presidential Center on rents and property values. While POAH has been active in Woodlawn for more than a decade, there is still much to learn about how best to stabilize and serve its low-income households. The Resident Orientation and Advisory Board Coordinator will support the Woodlawn community in maintaining housing stability and acclimating to neighborhood changes by enhancing our resident orientation process and Resident Advisory Board. The VISTA will streamline our resident orientation process by implementing a more digitally equitable program and connecting residents to immediate resources. They will also increase participation in and long-term stability of our Resident Advisory Board, empowering residents to help create the new resident orientation process and identify resources.
