Beacon Housing is a nonprofit driven to assist individuals and families who are vulnerable to homelessness to rebuild their lives in peace and stability. We do this by providing safe and low-cost accommodation options and education-centered supportive services, and by advancing innovative and collaborative affordable housing solutions. We believe that housing that feels stable, safe, and connected to a neighborhood helps foster dignity, security, and a sense of belonging for the people who live there. It provides a critical foundation for individuals and families to focus on work, school, health, and community and is an investment in a better tomorrow. The VISTA Outreach and Programs Associate responsibilities include: Outreach & Community Engagement - Conduct outreach and develop engagement tools, partner tracking systems, storytelling templates, and communication resources that strengthen Beacon Housing’s capacity to share its mission and build relationships with residents, partners, and supporters.

Build partner and stakeholder relationships that the organization can use to sustain long-term relationships. Programs - Develop tools, evaluation systems, and recommendations that support the long-term improvement of resident-focused programs. Develop and expand infrastructure for the organization’s summer program. Create data management systems for program data collection and evaluation systems for the organization to measure outcomes and impact as well as develop and build systems to effectively complete grant applications. Events - Develop event planning tools for events that strengthen community engagement and advance the organization’s mission.
