VHA - Housing Alexandria Community Development VISTA
 
 
 
Virginia Housing Alliance’s (VHA) Virginia Housing Alliance’s (VHA) AmeriCorps VISTA project is a statewide intermediary project with 18 Host Sites, all that either works to expand affordable housing opportunities and/or end homelessness throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. VHA’s VISTA project aims to develop viable communities by promoting integrated approaches that provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and expansive economic opportunities for low and moderate-income persons. This listing is to fill the Host Site opening at Housing Alexandria located in Alexandria, VA. Housing Alexandria, whose mission is to develop and preserve quality housing that is affordable while also supporting residents so they may thrive as members of the Alexandria community, is looking for a proactive and driven individual to serve as the Funder and Community Engagement VISTA. The Housing Alexandria VISTA will focus on expanding the capacity of the fundraising and communications team with the goal of assisting low-income Alexandrians in their journey to secure an affordable home from rental to ownership by helping to secure funding through grant writing, fundraising software support, creating targeted communication strategies, and identifying sources of funding. The vital work of the VISTA will help identify the needs of the residents, allowing Housing Alexandria to provide more efficient and effective services to the community.
