FutureHeights Outreach and Market Strategy VISTA
 
 
 
FutureHeights launched a market-rate, owner occupant rehab housing program in the spring of 2019, FutureHomes. Through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, FutureHeights expanded the program activities to directly impact LMI residents and, potentially LMI tenants. FutureHeights identified a home for rehabilitation in a target neighborhood in Cleveland Heights. The VISTA will research the impact the rehab program is having in target neighborhoods and assist with expanding the housing work conducted at FutureHeights. The VISTA will focus on assisting with the development of a comprehensive housing strategy that reaches residents in the areas surrounding the FutureHomes rehab projects. The VISTA will engage with residents to promote awareness of the programs and to connect homeowners to various city, county, nonprofit and other services available for home maintenance. The goals are to help build housing stability, provide overall assistance for home maintenance, promote sustainability within the housing stock, create neighborhood connections and increase opportunities for homeownership in the surrounding neighborhood. The VISTA will develop relationships with residents, community organizations, service providers, city and county representatives, developers and contractors, nonprofit organizations and other key stakeholders. These relationships and partnerships will advise the direction, approach and strategy for the FutureHomes program. The VISTA will work in partnership with and be supported by the FutureHeights Housing and Planning & Development committees, City of CH staff, and neighborhood leaders to advise FutureHeights on how best to aid neighborhood stabilization.
