VHA - Micah Ministries Community Development VISTA

Virginia Housing Alliance’s (VHA) AmeriCorps VISTA project is a statewide intermediary project with 18 Host Sites, that all work to either 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 Micah Ministries in Fredericksburg, VA. Micah Ministries cultivates a continuum of compassion with unhoused neighbors and is the primary coordinator of street outreach and housing first support for individuals living in places not meant for human habitation in the Fredericksburg region. In 20 years, Micah Ministries' work has evolved from a simple response to basic needs into a comprehensive approach to supporting holistic flourishing. Today, they operate ministries that address essential needs, housing, income development, healthcare, and foster social and spiritual relationships. Their experiences have shaped a vision for a supportive housing neighborhood, called Jeremiah Community, which will provide affordable housing, onsite support services, and a strong sense of purpose and meaningful relationships for individuals who have experienced long-term homelessness. Micah Ministries is looking for a driven individual to fill their Community Development VISTA opening with the goal of supporting the successful implementation of their new affordable housing neighborhood Jeremiah Community.
